FCC commissioner claims Harris on ‘SNL’ violates ‘equal time’ rule​

(The Hill) — A Federal Communications Commission (FCC) commissioner has claimed that Vice President Harris’s recent appearance on “Saturday Night Live” violates the “equal time” rule.

“This is a clear and blatant effort to evade the FCC’s Equal Time rule,” Commissioner Brendan Carr posted on the social platform X Saturday in response to a post from The Associated Press about Harris being on the show that night.


“The purpose of the rule is to avoid exactly this type of biased and partisan conduct – a licensed broadcaster using the public airwaves to exert its influence for one candidate on the eve of an election. Unless the broadcaster offered Equal Time to other qualifying campaigns,” Carr, a Trump appointee, continued.

Kamala Harris appears on ‘Saturday Night Live’ as mirror image of Maya Rudolph

The FCC’s “equal time” rules let rival candidates ask for equal air time.



Crooked Kamala is flaunting the law again.

I hope she sees the other edge of the lawfare sword as she is personally responsible for this.

Maybe gin it up to a felony.

So her own government made this decision AFTER her appearance and 3 days before the election?

LOL.

Equal time laws have been on the books in this country for over 50 years. It isn't something that was dreamed up three days before the election. SMH

Democrats don't even follow the Constitution as no one holds them to account, so why would they give a damn about the FCC who are all democrats anyway?

Yes, I realize that. What good is this "ruling" three days before an election and after she has already been on the show?

America is becoming a Monty Python skit.

 

[Rogue AI]

Good reason for Trump to start pulling licenses from these broadcasters on day one.

What else is new? Since Republicans are trying to cut the cheating down in swing states, the filthy corrupt party continues to expand on other ways to cheat and their bought and paid for media will do anything they can to help.

It happened yesterday. American justice has become a Monty Python skit.

 

[rightwinger]

Trump can appear next week

 

[Mr. Friscus]

Trump can appear next week

Wouldn’t that offend your precious sensibilities though?

It took how many days of planning?

They need to give the impression that the government is "fair and balanced, justice is blind we guarantee it!"

A Monty Python skit indeed.

Trump has been on SNL before, Harris has not.
Sarah Palin appeared on SNL

 

[Concerned American]

Good reason for Trump to start pulling licenses from these broadcasters on day one.

Sure, like that would ever happen to NBC, SNL, or Lorne Michaels. The FCC should fine those guys AND the Harris campaign a couple billion dollars--if it is good enough for FOX and their contributors, it should carry for all of them.

 

[martybegan]

Trump can appear next week

Which is why the Harris Campaign did it this week.

Dirty pool is evidently only acceptable when your own side does it.

 

[Concerned American]

This isn't Canada. The FCC doesn't review and approve everything that comes over the air waves beforehand. The laws are there, the consequences are clear. Enforcement by the affected regime is what is lacking. The US has turned into an authoritarian, third world dictatorship under Biden and the globalist democrats.

That would be after the fact equity, not current equality. You folks have problems understanding the basis of equality.

I really don’t think Trump would appear on SNL

He wouldn’t even show up for 60 Minutes
