So FCC Commissioner says Harris’s SNL appearance

[blindedbythelight]

Was a blatant violation of campaign “ Equal Time” requirements.

Does the FCC do the right thing and make NBC give Trump 15 minutes of prime time nationwide on Monday evening???

They are trying to influence a national election and a monetary fine does not remotely remedy the violation.

If they don’t do something it opens up legitimate and easily provable litigation avenues for Trump

From my understanding, trump has turned down NBC several times.

NBC has already offered him the time. But cry, little guy. In the mean time the GOP is challenging mail in ballots only in blue leaning counties. This is what you vote for. Well this and a man who mimics deepthroating a microphone.

Just last night NBC filed equal time paperwork with the FCC,,,,so do they give Trump equal time tonight on the eve of the election??

You know the candidate has to request it, right? And the Trump campaign has been strangely silent when the question has been asked of them whether they requested time.

According to the FCC, equal opportunities “generally means providing comparable time and placement to opposing candidates; it does not require a station to provide opposing candidates with programs identical to the initiating candidate.” A station also is not required to seek out opposing candidates and offer them equal opportunities. In other words, time has to be requested.

What is not clear is whether other candidates have done so. A spokesperson for Donald Trump’s campaign did not respond to a request as to whether his campaign has or will make a request. A network source said NBC will comply with all regulatory obligations.

The FCC rules do not require that a network seek out opposing campaigns to offer the time. The rival candidates have to request it. A Trump campaign spokesperson did not return a request for comment.
