Talarico gets burst of momentum from CBS controversy
"Controversy surrounding a CBS “Late Show” segment with Texas Senate candidate James Talarico has given the Democratic rising star a new burst of momentum just as early voting kicks off in the Lone Star State.
Comic Stephen Colbert said during Monday’s episode that CBS told him not to broadcast Talarico’s appearance, citing pressure from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The network denied the accusation, but Colbert pushed back and released the interview on YouTube."
