Public Enemy #1: The View
Is The View Under FCC Attack? War With Iran? And Who Pays for Risky Rescue Missions? Is the federal government targeting The View? FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr says an enforcement action is underway after the show featured Democratic lawmaker James Talarico. But here’s the issue — there’s no equal-time violation. No rule broken. So what exactly is being enforced? Is this about media fairness… or political intimidation? At the same time, headlines are screaming that the United States is on the brink of war with Iran. Why now? What direct threat justifies escalation? And are Americans ready for another Middle East conflict? Plus — California’s deadliest avalanche in state history has claimed eight lives and cost massive rescue resources. But the group reportedly ventured out despite avalanche warnings. Should taxpayers repeatedly fund rescue operations when people ignore official alerts? Where does personal responsibility begin? This episode tackles media freedom, government power, war rhetoric, and accountability — without spin. The Karel Show streams live Monday–Thursday at 10:30 AM PST.

You need to know what happened with the #FCC and #CBS, #Colbert and #Tellarico. The #EqualTimeRule is how they will silence dissenting voices on network television.

The Tl;dr is simple: hosts with anti-authoritarian views will not be allowed to interview opposition politicians.
As an attorney with occasional experience with the Equal Time rule, I can explain what's going on here and how the FCC's Brandon Carr is leveraging his position to force late night and daytime talk show hosts to exclude Democratic candidates.

First I need to explain the Equal Time rule itself. 1/
Stephen Colbert said that the FCC and CBS - which is in no way a compromised or complicit organization - wouldn’t allow him to broadcast an interview with Democratic State Rep James Talarico. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/a...
