As a side note, "talarico" is a slang in my country for a man that sleeps with engaged women.

Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

because of FCC’s “equal time” rule — which requires broadcast networks to provide opposing political candidates equivalent airtime.
That would require them to give equal air time to the communist and green candidates, right?
Don't be silly. Only parties with corporate interests count.
Is 6 million views a lot for him? How does that compare to his other videos?
"That’s an astounding number for a video that has been up for less than 48 hours — and already puts it among the top political interviews that have ever been posted by “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” since its launch in 2015. It’s also easily the most-watched YouTube clip so far this year for “The Late Show” — and its most-watched Colbert clip since one in September, where the host celebrated the return of fellow host Jimmy Kimmel after his own battle with his parent network (ABC) and the FCC. "
Saved you a click.
Yeah but it's 0M MAGA viewers.
MAGA voters are not as numerous as anyone thinks they are. The problem in our electoral system is the disproportionate gerrymandering and the number of disaffected independent voters who can't see the difference between Republicans and Democrats, mostly because there is no real difference between Republicans and Democrats.
That is covered in the article.
Colbert’s most-watched “The Late Show” political interview of all time is with then-candidate Donald Trump on Sept. 23, 2015, which now boasts 17.85 million views
Wait. Colbert interviewed Trump??
Anyone got a link to the video that's not on YouTube
I've been thinking this was a prime candidate for the Streisand effect since I first heard about it. Good for him.
TV super duper dead
"Well, shit, that didn't work." - MAGA, again.
This is the second time in the last few months they stopped CBS from airing something and it resulted in more people seeing it (the 60 minutes segment about the El Salvador prison being the other one)
CBS is run by out of touch maga boomers who want Colbert off the air anyways. They want to turn CBS into Fox News, and these are just the growing pains.
Whose beach shack is that?
It's Barbara Streisand's.
The term was coined in 2005 by Mike Masnick of Techdirt after Barbra Streisand attempted to suppress the publication of a photograph by Kenneth Adelman showing her clifftop residence in Malibu, taken to document coastal erosion in California.
Shy of those houses being there, what’s so bad about the sea reshaping the shoreline? Hasn’t that been going on for quite some time already, like, a few hundred million years or so?
Things humans have done, like damming rivers, have accelerated and altered coastal erosion patterns to a huge degree.
It's a natural phenomenon but AFAIK it can be accentuated or accelerated by the rise of the sea level, or the passage of boats and vessels. It can be entirely normal, but it can also be provoked or worsened by other factors. And that's why we document and do some research about it?!
I'm not a climate scientist but luckily the Wikipedia's article on the Streisand effect has a link to coastal erosion if you want to know more.
That makes sense. We want to understand our impact on the environment. I guess I was just wondering why it seemed like an inherent problem, but I suppose it’s more a question of whether we’re disturbing the natural process in ways that ultimately cause undue detriment to the ecosystem.
"Lifestyles of the Rich and Infamous"
It's like in the fifth Harry Potter book when Hermione gets Rita Skeeter to interview Harry about Voldemort's return, and it's published in Luna's dad's magazine, and Umbridge bans it, thereby inadvertently ensuring every student at Hogwarts reads it
Aka the skeeter effect
