FCC Commissioner Hints At Serious Consequences For Kamala Campaign After SNL Appearance

A senior member of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is calling for NBC News to face serious consequences after Vice President Kamala Harris appeared on “Saturday Night Live” in the final episode ahead of Election Day. Trump and other presidential candidates were not given the same chances to appear, violating longstanding “equal time” principles.

“This has all the appearances of, at least some leadership at NBC, at SNL, making clear that they wanted to weigh-in in favor of one candidate before the election. That’s exactly why, for decades, we’ve had an equal time rule on the book, is to prevent that. Because remember, broadcasters are placed in a special position of trust. They’re not just like any other person with a soapbox on the corner,” FCC commissioner Brendan Carr said in an interview with Fox News on Sunday. “They have a license from the federal government that obligates them to operate in the public interest.”

A poorly written headline as the headline does not match the article content.

How is this the fault of the Kamala Campaign?

Clearly it falls on NBC to provide equal time opportunity

Why even would Trump want to go on SNL after years of their political leftism dominating their show. I wouldn't even give them the clicks generated on Youtube.

NBC allowed Donald Trump to air a 90 second advertisement tonight during Sunday Night Football and NASCAR per FCC regulations in order to provide equal time to what Kamala Harris received on Saturday Night Live.

There also was a sketch on SNL that amounted to free advertising for Tim Kaine. NBC owes his conservative opponent, Hung Cao, some airtime.

After SNL equal time scandal + FCC Commissioner @BrendanCarrFCC calling out the network, @NBCUniversal steps up, offers @realDonaldTrump time Sunday Night

Sunday Night Football audience — 20M
SNL audience - 5M

The irony of complying with FCC rules on political programming..
