The Democratic primary challenger to New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez fired off a letter to CBS demanding equal time after “Late Night” host Stephen Colbert’s fawning interview with the three-term lefty incumbent on Monday.
Candidate Martin Dolan, who is squaring off against AOC in the June 25 primary for the 14th congressional district encompassing parts of Queens and The Bronx, accused CBS of giving the incumbent free air time to promote her reelection bid.
“CBS just gave $300,000 in free air time to AOC. We want equal time,” Dolan told The Post Wednesday.
“Give us a fair fight,” Dolan, a 66-year-old former Wall Street banker and Westchester County native, said later in a letter to CBS.
Dolan claimed that under Federal Communication Commission rules covering broadcast networks, he’s entitled to equal air time.
“Section 315(a) of the FCC rules requires stations that allow candidates to use their facilities to give equal opportunities to all other candidates,” reads the letter, obtained by The Post. “There are exceptions for news, not for entertainment shows, or the result can be what you see around the world: incumbent regimes dominating their press.”
During the more than 10-minute interview, Colbert joked with AOC about the eclipse and her interest in becoming a scientist as a student.
He then gave her time to explain her positions including calling Israel’s retaliatory response in Gaza “genocide” and discuss her thoughts on Democrats who voted blank or uncommitted in the primary in protest of President Biden’s response. AOC also claimed credit for Biden’s move to cancel student loan debt
There were no hard-hitting follow-up questions.
Colbert did ask one softball question, whether the democratic socialist would back Biden’s re-election. She said she would.

I presume Dolan is the Israel first, America last AIPAC candidate?
As expected because Colbert's a piece of shit woke loving communist.
Dam shame what houses the Ed Sullivan theatre today.
CBS= Communist Broadcasting System just like WNYC, NPR and the rest of them on the "Mayors list" of media, press and communication.
----All mobbed up!

"Eat the Rich" ALWAYS MEANT "Eat the middle-class and help the super-rich get richer"
Why do you think she wore that dress?
I’m doing my share to fight communism by not voting democrat.
Her interest in becoming a scientist. She'll probably be just as dumb as the women on "the view" who claimed that climate change caused the eclipse and the earthquake. Thank goodness she's no scientist.
She’s still super hot!
The Republicans have nobody who comes even close.
Thank god we don't have mean Tweets anymore though.
Whenever Sandy speaks I feel as though I'm listening to a fourteen-year-old trying to negotiate with her parents.
I wonder if she knows how many branches of government we have yet...
#1 needs help to start fostering critical thinking.
Dose She still believe Jussie Smollet ?
I wonder what her study major was….
Environmental Science?
Pronoun Correctness ?
Social Sensitivity Studies?
I wake up every morning and thank God I'm a American and not a democrat...
fight communism by not voting democrat.
Problem is every hardcore woke, loser hipster, democrat unwelcome in other states are dropping in here and establishing residency.
These freaks are near all socialists!
Now add these transplants to near every young person under age 40 brainwashed by the schools.
Republicans can not win, they are far outnumbered. Republicans have also gone stupid meddling in abortion and pick the worst candidates.
Look at the record:
First Lee Zeldin opening up his mouth on abortion losing young woman votes.
Mazzi Phillip, a twit who cant even speak against the Tom Suozzi machine.
Now Trump and his bible packing Christian bullshit. As in the same bullshit helping all these illegals get to New York, feed, clothe and NOW build them housing on every church owned property with this "City Of Yes" nonsense.
I mean COME ON, How stupid can conservatives republicans be, they gonna blow the next elections for sure !!
The only solution is adapt to socialism, crime or get the hell out of New York.
Did you notice instant coffee being shipped to supermarket shelves in NY is no longer in English? Maxwell House Instant: I had to experiment if the illustration on the bottle meant 1 teaspoon or 1 tablespoon per cup.
White middle class has been already forgotten and intended to be exterminated or replaced.....This via possible means.
That means tax, mug, push under trains or make it impossible for them to get to work, have a nice home in a nice neighborhood. Include turning our children into socialists, turning them against in the schools.
Everybody is under socialist gunpoint.
Its a hard thing for many but people need to remember New York is already gone and destroyed. If you have kids under 30 here they are likely gone and brainwashed.
The damage even if possible to undo will take maybe 50-100 years.
Most white middle class will be murdered (via taxes, aggravation, the knife of an illegal, gun of a black thug or long dead by then.
Why suffer?
So AOC blocks Amazon coming into Long Island City but welcomes chaos into Jackson Heights. The ironic part is 90% of voters in these areas will gladly vote for her.
@"Her interest in becoming a scientist. She'll probably be just as dumb as the women on "the view" who claimed that climate change caused the eclipse and the earthquake. Thank goodness she's no scientist. "
Wasn't that your all-time favorite congresswoman, Marjorie Taylor Greene. AOC has more brain cells than the entire Republican Q-Anon worshipers.
We need to open back up the mental hospitals of the 1950's.
We have failed as a society and culture.
Even Bill Maher can't stomach the Democrat party anymore.
Yeah, but he’ll vote for Biden because he has Trump derangement syndrome.
Since everybody in New York City is nuts, I think it's in the water
She makes as much sense as Kamala Harris.
Their parents probably voted Democrat for decades. They are getting what they asked for.
Until people wake up and vote for crime fighting, law enforcing and constitution abiding politicians, they will continue to be subjected to crime and a rapidly declining society.
Vote Republican. Send a message to your Democrat politicians, that you have had enough and they need to stop this madness.
