YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPART 1 of 4:
CBS pulled Stephen Colbert's interview with Texas Senate candidate James Tallarico after FCC Chair Brendan Carr threatened to revisit how equal time rules apply to late night talk shows. Sarah and Beth argue this isn't just about one interview — it's part of a broader White House strategy to cast doubt on the 2026 midterms, suppress turnout, and pre-emptively delegitimize unfavorable results. They also break down why the "equal time" argument falls flat coming from an administration that rode a wave of one-sided podcast appearances straight to the White House.
Pantsuit Politics is a podcast hosted by Sarah Stewart Holland and Beth Silvers, dedicated to nuanced political conversations.
