WASHINGTON (PNN) - January 21, 2026 - Shows like The View and liberal late-night shows may soon find themselves under pressure from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to include more Republican guests and present a point of view other than the constant one-sided programming we see every day.
The View is just one example. Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert are just as bad, if not worse.
Colbert had Bernie Sanders on his show last night. It was his nineteenth appearance on Colbert’s show, and they used the time to push Bernie’s Marxist Left-wing politics. Elizabeth Warren has also been on Colbert countless times. They are using these shows on public airwaves to advance a political agenda.
The FCC is cracking down on partisan talk shows in both daytime and late night in an effort to provide equal treatment for political candidates.
The FCC announced Wednesday it is providing guidance to the three broadcast networks to adhere to the “statutory equal opportunities requirement,” citing the Communications Act of 1934, “including their airing of late night and daytime talk shows.”
“Under section 315, if a broadcast station permits any legally qualified candidate for public office to use its facilities, it shall provide an equal opportunity to all other legally qualified candidates for that office,” the FCC wrote in a press release.
There has been a longstanding “bona fide” exception for news programming that wouldn’t require equal time for an opposing candidate, but the FCC now says it “has not been presented with any evidence that the interview portion of any late night or daytime television talk show program on the air presently would qualify for the ‘bona fide’ news exemption.”
It goes beyond bias. For example, Joy Behar of The View has made it known that she wants part of her “legacy” to be the taking down of President Donald J. Trump. She uses her airtime to promote that objective.
These people are out of control, and it is not fair. They need to be forced to change. They are certainly not going to do it on their own.
