Colbert's "Equal Time" Lie, Stephen A. Smith’s Winning Message, and Corporate Media's Fail, with Ana Kasparian
Podcast: After Party with Emily JashinskyPublished On: Thu Feb 19 2026
Description: Emily Jashinsky is joined by Ana Kasparian, Executive Producer & Host of "The Young Turks." The ladies open up with a conversation about the controversy surrounding Stephen Colbert’s interview with Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico and evidence the pair is misleading people about why the interview didn’t air on CBS. Then the conversation turns to the overall media landscape, the importance of authenticity, YouTube’s growth, and why incentive structures—not individual journalists—are the core problem in corporate news. Emily and Ana also react to comments by Stephen A. Smith on race and juxtapose it with identity messaging from political figures like AOC. They also dive into the homeless crisis in America, NYC Mayor Mamdani’s about-face on it, and former President Obama’s criticism of California leadership. Ana also reveals some interesting thoughts on “Breaking Points” and her own political evolution. Emily wraps up the show with a deep dive into what she’s discovered from the Epstein files about his disturbing communications with women and the grave lapses in judgement by those who were connected to him.
