Trump will be on next Saturday.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.
Lol, Kamala does not have to follow the rule. She doesn't own the station. The station has to follow the rule dumb fuck.FCC commissioner claims Harris on ‘SNL’ violates ‘equal time’ rule

The network and the show's producer have to follow the rule--the station has NO LIABILITY, moron.
These people truly are idiots aren't they
Actually it does go read the rule. Trump can request equal time. The station is not required to inform him he can request equal time. Trump was on SNL in 2015 during the primary. Other candidates requested and received the time. Trump can do the same.
That's right. We will put him and Kill Tony on a 5 minute spot at 11:30 tomorrow night.
Not when there isn't another show until after the election. This is a clear violation.
Does not have to be the same show. He can request equal time for another one. If he wants to be on the six o'clock news he can be. Any show that has guests can be requested.

First thing a dictator does is go after and get rid of the free press...
Says the moron that advocated for censorship of social media non stop until the law turns against her. LMAO, stinking hypocrites need to ESAD.
You are correct. She has already violated the Hatch act by holding a stump speech behind the VP seal. She has enough to deal with for that violation. As for NBC/SNL and Lorne Michaels, they should be fined billions of dollars as the democrats have already set that precedent.
Lie.

Nahhhh, Trump already broke that rule a thousand times and made it okay....for him and his staff!
I'm glad you agree that since Fox and their contributors have been fined billions of dollars, it is only fair to fine NBC like amounts for their violations. What's good for the goose is good for the gander....
What a bizarre comment.
