Mere days before the Election, Saturday Night Live featured Kamala Harris without inviting Trump. Did this violate the FCC’s rules?
From Daily Caller. A top official from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) called out NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” (“SNL”) on Sunday for allowing 2024 Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris to make an appearance on the show just two days before Election Day.
Let the IFA community know how to pray for you.
In the “SNL” sketch, actress Maya Rudolph, who was playing the vice president, spoke with Harris, who was playing a mirror reflection of Rudolph’s caricature, about stopping the “chaos” and “dramala” in American politics (the latter is a running joke of the show making light of Harris’s name).
FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr ripped SNL’s “biased and partisan conduct” for inviting the Democratic candidate to appear without apparently offering the same opportunity to 2024 Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, suggesting a violation of the FCC’s “equal time” rule.
This is a clear and blatant effort to evade the FCC’s Equal Time rule.
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.… https://t.co/LliZF0po9t

“This is a clear and blatant effort to evade the FCC’s Equal Time rule,” Carr wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter). “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.” …
Trump was not offered the same invitation to appear on “SNL” as Harris, Fox News senior White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich reported. The Trump campaign is reportedly reviewing whether Harris’s appearance merits a formal FCC complaint.
Broadcasters must offer candidates seeking the same political office comparable time and placement, Section 315 of the Communications Act states. …

Just another example of how the media and hollywood want a dictator style government then they can make us deplorable wallmart shopping garbage Trump supporters their slaves. I believe God guided President Trump to run so that a piece of the puzzle of His holy plan can be fulfilled. I trust in God ‘s plan.
Most definitely “YES”! This is just further proof that the media is biased and Hollywood is corrupt!
Any TV show like SNL that makes its content about a political figure then invites them onto the show is trying to use and boost to give one another an advantage over the hearts of the viewers. It is an act of favoritism.
