The FCC refused to air it.

this segment.

And that wasn't true at all.

Not only was that not true, but the subsequent claim that, well, it was CBS that refused to air it was also proved to be a hoax as well.

That in fact, CBS apparently had advised Colbert they could run the exact interview that they wanted.

And they just needed to be mindful that it could trigger an equal time obligation for other candidates.

And again, that would be a circumstance in which Colbert himself wouldn't even have had to conduct the interview.

But to your point, step back

Broadcast TV is fundamentally different, as you noted, than cable and streaming and social media because you've got a license by the government.

And the reason you have a license is because we can't have multiple people on the same airways at the same time.

So the government in broadcast, but not cable, not streaming, picks winners and losers.

They say you get a license and necessarily that means your friend or your neighbor don't get the license.

And so when you broadcast, you're supposed to stand in the shoes, not just of yourself,

which is what you do on cable and everything else.

It's a public trust model.

You're supposed to operate in what we call the public interest and to look out for the views and interests of those that were denied by the government, a license.

And so one of those specific stature requirements is called equal time.

And the idea here was that Congress didn't want media gatekeepers

picking winners and losers in elections.

They wanted individual people, the voters to make those decisions, but they knew that the powerful broadcasters could put a thumb on the scale and tip elections by putting preferred candidate on the airways and denying others.
