Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr delivered a brutal reality check to late-night propagandist Stephen Colbert and his Democrat accomplice James Talarico, calling out their manufactured "censorship" crisis as nothing more than a calculated political hoax.
Speaking with Glenn Beck, Chairman Carr demolished the left's latest fake victim narrative after Colbert claimed on Monday night that new FCC guidance forced CBS to block Democrat Senate candidate Talarico from appearing on "The Late Show."
"This was a decision by Colbert, by Talarico to put a hoax out there that they knew the media would run for purposes of Talarico, apparently, scoring political points," Carr explained to Beck's audience.
The FCC chair made it crystal clear that no government censorship occurred - this was pure political theater orchestrated by desperate Democrats looking to play victim.
Here's what really happened, Patriots: Colbert and his CBS handlers made their own editorial decision, then blamed Trump's FCC to create a phony "free speech under attack" storyline. Classic leftist playbook - create a problem, then blame conservatives for the mess you made yourself.
This manufactured controversy perfectly exposes how the mainstream media operates. They'll amplify any lie that makes the Trump administration look authoritarian, even when the story falls apart under basic scrutiny.
Democrats' Desperate Victim Complex
Talarico, clearly struggling in his Senate race, saw an opportunity to grab headlines by playing the censorship card. What better way to energize the liberal base than claiming Big Bad Trump is silencing dissent?
But Chairman Carr wasn't having it. Under Trump's leadership, the FCC is finally calling out these information warfare tactics instead of letting Democrats get away with their propaganda campaigns.
The real question Americans should be asking: If Democrats have to resort to manufacturing fake censorship stories, what does that say about the strength of their actual message? When your political strategy depends on elaborate hoaxes, maybe it's time to find better candidates and better ideas.
