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

[Polishprince]

Time to lift NBC's licenses and put them off the air permanently. Maybe a hundred billion dollar fine

I really don’t think Trump would appear on SNL

He wouldn’t even show up for 60 Minutes

Doesn't matter if he would or not, the law is clear as to what equality means. Try again.

Trump has hosted SNL twice in the past, so why wouldn't he?

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.

You guys try this every 4 years.

Rules for thee, but not for me....

Wow that must be frustrating.

 

[candycorn]

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

LOL.

No, a commissioner said something; not the whole body. Learn to read.

This is another case where the our elected officials are thumbing their noses at the American electorate. It doesn't matter what laws are on the books, these crooks will violate them with impunity. This is an example, the failure of the US legislature to finalize the WA state decision to do away with DST is another and the failure of the WA state legislature to "fully fund" education as is mandated by their constitution as their paramount duty is another. SMH, we've allowed them to run rough shod over us for too long. I think the tree of liberty is due for some irrigation.

 

[candycorn]

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.

See...these are the whiny bitches I was telling you about. Harris shows up on a TV program and the MAGA men start their whine-fest.

Ahh, the veiled threat of violence. I was wondering when you guys were going to start playing that card again. You’re not going to do jack shit boy.

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

The government should sue them and file to change their tax filing status to an Advocacy Corp. They are, after all, advocates for Democrats.

 

[westwall]

Wow that must be frustrating.

Nah. It's expected so we just point it out and watch you try and deflect.

 

[candycorn]

Gee, we have another lefty key board warrior with a comprehension problem. Another triggered howler monkey.

You’re the one threatening violence little man. Bring it on.

 

[Winco]

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

Whine Louder and take your Nap.
Geez, you clowns hate SNL, why are you bitching about a show you think is "A Joke."

You folks have problems understanding the basis of equality.

Dear Lord.
You HATE Equality, expect when it affects your agenda.

Trump has hosted SNL twice in the past, so why wouldn't he?

See ^^^^ equal time.

 

[Lesh]

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

Kerry was on late night talk shows

As was Clinton

This is toothless…
