"Whether late night is now truly dead — the time would likely revert to local stations — or just going through a necessary reinvention isn’t clear. But like so much else these days, it leaves us wondering if this new era of tech-enabled balkanization has claimed one more victim."

#Colbert interview with #KamalaHarris is very good. I get her point. ALL of the Dems need to be out there talking to people, but NOT just to get their vote. To actually understand what people need from their government, at all levels.

Could be a turning point in US politics, if they would do it.

"Trump has shown us again and again that he will use every lever of power to silence his critics and punish his enemies.

Now he has the FCC and a major news network doing his bidding."

Federal Communications Commission chair Brendan Carr came under fire on Friday after he made concerning comments about CBS’s cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s late-night show.

Carr joined CNBC’s 'Squawk on the Street' on Friday morning to discuss allegations that the Trump administration pressured Paramount, the parent company of CBS, to settle a '60 Minutes' lawsuit before approving the company’s merger with SkyDance. He also responded to concerns around the cancellation of Colbert’s show, which came just days after it was reported that Paramount agreed to a settlement with President Donald Trump.

'I mean Colbert is a comedian. And you keep talking about journalism and fairness and news, but I guess where is that line between? We all remember Carson and Jay Leno giving Reagan the business. Where does that fit into this discussion?' CNBC’s Carl Quintanilla asked Carr.

'I think what’s interesting about all of this is these late night shows, not just *The Late Night Show,’* but across the board, they have such a storied history, and it’s sort of sad to see what’s happening to Colbert. They obviously can’t get it done.

They’re not making money over there, but I think they need a course correction. And frankly, I think, you know, the media industry across this country needs a course correction' Carr responded.

'Again, the American people simply do not trust the mainstream media. And for broadcasters, again, different than cable, different than podcasts. For broadcasters, they have a federal license, and they are obligated to operate in the public interest. And to the extent that we’re starting to see some changes, I think that’s a good thing and frankly I think it will help restore some of the trust that’s been lost with the American people,' he said.

(. . .)

Carr’s response prompted social media users to accuse him of making 'fascist' comments, with many pointing to the right to free speech guaranteed in the Constitution."
