Talarico's big bombshell: Talking about Christianity. The "Christian Nationalists" don't want him doing that. He's talking about the wrong kind of Christianity.
"Deep State Censors Texas Christian" would be the headline we need to reach the people who could benefit from his message.
Former Catholic, now atheist. In my fundamental years growing up as a Catholic and being a member of our Catholic school and church, we were entirely service based and helped do those things Jesus was all about: feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, visiting the sick (hospice, nursing homes), etc. We never crammed our religion down someone's throats. Today, I still live Christ-like even though I'm not christian.
I'm not in Texas, but one of my favorite videos of Talarico is his sermon to explain the difference between Christianity and Christian Nationalism. This sermon isn't cramming religion down your throat - it goes through the dangers of Christian Nationalism and presents it in such a digestible manner. It made me angry on behalf of Christians (given that I'm a former one who strived to do good for others and serve my community like Jesus in the bible did) since Trump and his cronies co-opted Christianity.
"James Talarico Delivers Sermon Against Christian Nationalism - October 22nd, 2023"
Duration: 18:46 minutes
Long video, but it's really good. Video hits harder since it was before Trump was re-elected.
"They have co-opted the Son of God. They've turned this humble rabbi into a gun-toting, gay-bashing, science-denying, money-loving, fear-mongering fascist. And it is incumbent upon all Christians to confront it and denounce it." - James Talarico.
Talarico's big bombshell: Talking about Christianity. The "Christian Nationalists" don't want him doing that. He's talking about the wrong kind of Christianity.
Precisely. Talarico is a Christian who actually takes the part about looking after the needy and the sick, and having empathy for other human beings seriously. We can't have that in Texas!
He didn't accuse them...
He flat out said it was happening.
FCC has domain over broadcast (not cable) and radio.
They're going after late show hosts on the "free" networks, but have explicitly said they're not going to enforce the same rules on talk radio, because "that's not the focus".
They're only enforces rules against people who disagreeing against them politically
It's fucking obvious, there's no allegedly here, it's clearly happening and the FCC has publicly acknowledged the bias
is it really a case of one person "accusing" someone of something, when the thing is literally what happened?
You can make accusations about things that literally happened.
ok.
but here's a better headline that doesn't paint stephen colbert as the sole entitiy "accusing" someone of doing a thing that the someone literally did
It is stated as an accusation, because the headline is also a statement from CBS network and publisher (Guardian). Both could be reviewed as separate reviewable pieces by FCC. I believe they are both being cautious.
In video, Colbert notes it was a “purely a financial decision.”
F fascism
Why yes, I would vote Colbert for president.
I want the alternate timeline where, rather than just doing it to highlight the bullshit pac rules. Stewart and Colbert actually ran
Colbert should go to a different network. Or post the whole segment on YouTube like John Oliver does. Or both.
I haven't watched a Colbert monologue in the last year, and I haven't watched any Colbert interviews for much longer than that. I'm going to keep my record unblemished, thank you very much.
UNLESS Trump doesn't want me to see it. Then let's fire up that YouTube baby!
