    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?

      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.”
