If the news industry was doing its job, then in recent days you would have heard about Arnold Schwarzenegger and Xavier Becerra, a top Biden administration official running for California governor.
Yes, really. The single biggest story for several days involved them. But the coverage left them out. Their role destroys the two-dimensional narrative the media chose to provide. In the latest episode, I break this down for you.
The ‘Equal Time’ rule
The story that Big Media gave the country goes like this: The Late Show with Stephen Colbert wanted to interview James Talarico, candidate in a Democratic primary for one of Texas’ U.S. Senate seats. CBS’ lawyers got in the way, doing the Trump administration’s dirty bidding by citing concerns about an “equal time” rule. So the show put the interview on YouTube, outside of government influence. Millions watched and Talarico raked in donations, trumping the Trump administration’s interference.
The reality is different. It’s about what Americans should hear from political candidates, a legal precedent, and a political figure the media didn’t bother to contact.
