Podcasts about equal time

Much of what we’ve been told about a big story in recent days has been wrong. It involves the Trump administration, a tight Senate race, Stephen Colbert, and claims of censorship. Those elements have been in the news, but the story also involves Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bernie Sanders, and a Biden official running to lead the most populous state. News giants have pretty much ignored all of that because it doesn’t fit the simple narrative they would rather give you.  Today, Josh sets the record straight. He breaks down the story surrounding Texas Democrat James Talarico, and explains how the media “took the bait.” He dismantles the most “off the rails” talking points, and warns us about the long-term dangers of “panic mode” thinking. Also, why the State of the Union address is one of the most frustrating nights of the year, and signals a need for a big countermovement in America. And the latest fantastic listener feedback includes an “I stand corrected!” Plus, Josh tells us about two conversations that highlight hope for our democracy.

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: "Should licensed broadcast radio and television stations have to give equal time to competing political candidates?" A Stephen Colbert interview with Texas Senate candidate James Talarico has reignited debate over the FCC's nearly century-old equal time rule. After CBS lawyers raised concerns about triggering the regulation, Colbert cried foul — and the controversy exploded online. Michael breaks down what the rule actually says, how it differs from the Fairness Doctrine, and whether “spectrum scarcity” still justifies government oversight in today's media landscape. Is this selective enforcement, political pressure, or simply the law being applied? And in an era of unlimited media choices, should balanced coverage be the government's job — or ours?

CBS lawyers shut down Stephen Colbert's Senate interview — and suddenly it's “Trump censorship.” A Democrat Super PAC darkens Jasmine Crockett's skin in a primary ad. A DHS building is targeted in Idaho. And the New England Journal of Medicine quietly admits COVID vaccine blood clots were real. Tara connects the dots on media double standards, political hypocrisy, terror labeling, and the slow unraveling of the COVID narrative.

In the new eruption of leftist protest over anyone demanding Stephen Colbert provide "Equal Time" to their incessant tilt, we point out again that all the comedy shows tilt dramatically to the left, just like "The View." Whoopi Goldberg felt pressed to address the NewsBusters scoop on her place in the Epstein files. 

Afternoons Live with Tyler Axness welcomes Dr. Aaron Quanbeck MSUM to discuss some recent news the The FCC may be changing exemptions to the equal time rules for late night talk shows.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Colbert says he was “silenced.” Reality: CBS lawyers reminded him the FCC equal-time rule exists — and he didn't want to give the other Democrat equal airtime. So instead of booking other candidates, he kicked the interview online and cried censorship. This wasn't Trump. It wasn't the FCC storming the studio. It was a late-night host trying to tilt a primary on broadcast TV — and getting boxed in by the rulebook. Josh Holmes, Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan, and John Ashbrook break down the spin, the fundraising play, and the Democrat-media machine that treats late night like a campaign arm. In this episode:• The Equal Time rule Colbert pretends doesn't apply• Why CBS lawyers stepped in• How a “banned interview” turns into a multi-million dollar outrage haul• The real reason Jasmine Crockett didn't get the same invite PLUS — we actually believe in equal time. Featured Interview: Coach Dooley, candidate for U.S. Senate in Georgia

Richard Epstein unpacks what the equal time rule actually is, where it came from, and why it still applies to broadcast television decades after the demise of the Fairness Doctrine. He also explores the original justification for FCC regulation based on spectrum scarcity, the uneasy relationship between free speech and campaign finance law, and whether the logic behind these rules makes any sense in a world of YouTube, podcasts, and limitless media platforms

Things are getting messy on multiple fronts: Bill Gates canceled at India's AI Summit amid backlash over the Epstein files. Prince Andrew arrested — a reminder that elite immunity is vanishing. The Gates Foundation's tech influence in India raises global censorship concerns. Germany asserts the right to censor Viktor Orbán during Hungary's election, sparking debates about digital sovereignty. Stephen Colbert caught flouting FCC equal-time rules during a senatorial campaign. From elite scandals to global censorship to media hypocrisy, this episode breaks down why accountability is finally catching up with the powerful — and why the law applies to everyone, even TV hosts.

Stephen Colbert says CBS lawyers pulled his interview with Texas state Rep. James Talarico over concerns about the FCC's “Equal Time Rule.” So what exactly is that rule — and why is it suddenly back in the headlines? Michael speaks with Associated Press national politics reporter Meg Kinnard to break down the difference between the Equal Time Rule and the long-defunct Fairness Doctrine — and why the FCC under Chairman Brendan Carr appears to be taking a fresh look at enforcement. Does the Equal Time Rule apply to late-night comedy shows? Why could Colbert air the interview on YouTube but not on broadcast television? And if this rule is enforced, what does it mean for terrestrial radio talk show hosts like Sean Hannity and others? After his conversation with Kinnard, Michael has a lively conversation with the audience about free speech, fairness, media silos, and whether the marketplace — not Washington — should decide.

While the dual American and Canadian citizen can appreciate progress -- the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities -- he is worried that what has been hard won may be dismantled unless advocacy and activism keep the pressure on.

It's been 10 years since a 21-year-old gunman murdered nine church members who welcomed him to Bible study. The attack on Charleston, S.C.'s historic Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church on June 17, 2015, killed nine good people. They were targeted for that reason and for their race. The brother of one of the nine, Malcolm Graham, reflects on the life and legacy of his sister Cynthia Graham Hurd, on the world that nurtured such hatred in someone so young, and perhaps the hardest part — on how to do the work needed to change that world. His book is “The Way Forward: Keeping the Faith and Doing the Work Amid Hatred and Violence.” Graham, a Charlotte, N.C., city councilman, entrepreneur and civic activist, offers a path that won't be easy, but may be necessary.

The “L-word.” It took some time for journalists to call a lie a lie when politicians uttered provable falsehoods. After all, don't all politicians stretch the truth when it comes to policies, opponents or their own accomplishments? Bill Adair, an award-winning journalist and educator, shares his thoughts and experiences in his book “Beyond the Big Lie: The Epidemic of Political Lying, Why Republicans Do It More, and How It Could Burn Down Our Democracy.” The creator of PolitiFact, the Pulitzer Prize-winning fact-checking site, and co-founder of the International Fact-Checking Network, has ideas about the problem -- and possible remedies. Adair is a professor of journalism and public policy at Duke University and a leader in the effort to combat misinformation. And, at the end of a year chock full of election rhetoric to analyze, he is my guest and guide on Equal Time. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
