10 OUTLETS
Matthew Bartlett Comments on Crockett and Talarico’s Late Show Interview

Colbert interviewed Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, while Crockett said she had not been invited. CBS said it had not barred the interview and had provided equal-time guidance. Left-leaning outlets focus on Crockett’s account that network concerns about political retaliation shaped the episode. Center outlets emphasize equal-time guidance and report both Crockett’s criticism of the FCC and Bartlett’s claim she was treated unfairly. Right-leaning outlets stress competing claims over whether Crockett was unfairly sidelined or accusations about the interview were unfounded.
