The controversy around Stephen Colbert, James Talarico, and CBS is raising serious free speech questions.
Reports claim CBS chose not to air Talarico’s interview over fears of backlash from the Federal Communications Commission — and that Colbert was told not to address it. He did anyway.
The Talarico interview has significantly outpaced many of Colbert’s recent clips — becoming one of his most-watched political interviews on YouTube in years — and more than double the typical nightly TV audience for his show.The controversy around Stephen Colbert, James Talarico, and CBS is raising serious free speech questions.

Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has been sentenced to life in prison following his controversial declaration of martial law in December 2024 — a move that shocked both South Korea and the international community.
Yoon Suk Yeol, who served as president of South Korea from 2022 until his removal from office, declared emergency martial law powers in early December 2024 amid escalating political tensions, mass protests, and deepening gridlock with the opposition-controlled National Assembly. The declaration temporarily placed the military in charge of key aspects of governance, restricted certain civil liberties, and imposed limits on public assembly and media operations.
Critics accused Yoon of overstepping constitutional limits, arguing that the security situation did not justify such extreme measures. Opposition lawmakers and civil society groups described the move as an attempt to consolidate power and suppress dissent during a period of declining approval ratings and mounting political pressure. Large-scale protests erupted in Seoul and other major cities, with demonstrators calling the declaration unconstitutional and demanding his resignation.
South Korea’s Constitutional Court later ruled that the imposition of martial law violated democratic safeguards enshrined in the country’s post-1987 constitutional order — reforms that were themselves born out of decades of authoritarian rule and public struggle for democratic freedoms. The National Assembly voted to impeach him, and following his removal from office, prosecutors launched a criminal investigation into charges including abuse of power and violation of constitutional procedures.
After months of legal proceedings, the court ultimately sentenced Yoon to life imprisonment, concluding that his actions represented a grave breach of constitutional authority and undermined democratic governance. Supporters have argued that he acted in response to what he characterized as a national security crisis, while critics maintain the move was politically motivated and dangerous.
The case marks one of the most dramatic political downfalls in modern South Korean history — in a country that has previously seen former presidents investigated, impeached, and imprisoned, underscoring both the volatility of its politics and the strength of its judicial institutions.
The sentencing is likely to have lasting implications for South Korea’s political landscape, civil-military relations, and the broader debate about executive power in times of crisis.Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has been sentenced to life in prison following his controversial declaration of martial law in December 2024 — a move that shocked both South Korea and the international community.
