Rump has been diaper-chafing about SNL ever since just after he himself hosted it.
--- even telegraphed this "must-squash-free-speech" zombie mantra last month:
--- which also reflects his campaign rhetoric to "open up libel laws so when they write a 'hit piece which is a disgrace' we can sue them like they've never been sued before". Clearly he's looking for a way to squelch all forms of heat he's just too ******* immature to handle while he's standing in the friggin' kitchen.
Obviously the wimp needs to learn how to GROW A PAIR.
Also doesn't seem to have noticed that last night's SNL was a rerun.
Point of accuracy -- the article from the Daily Mail makes an inaccurate conflation between the Fairness Doctrine and the Equal Time rule... the FD, championed by Republicans panicking about FDR's "Fireside Chats", directed that pointed political speech especially directed at a person, required that person to be awarded a space to respond if they so requested. Joe McCarthy famously used it to respond to Edward R. Murrow's scathing analysis, and CBS gave McCarthy the entire program to respond. The Equal Time Rule says that if a broadcast outlet disseminates a(n umpaid) political endorsement for one side, it has to make available equal time for the other side.
NEITHER of those of course apply to comedy, a human experience Rump seems completely unable to comprehend, which is a hallmark of his Narcissistic Personality Disorder. He has no sense of humor at all. Doesn't understand any kind of interaction unless it's some kind of
conflict.
That's what it comes down to --- Rump is the original Snowflake.

Lord God King Supreme Snowflake, snowflakier than which simply does not exist.
