The actual quote from the FCC chair: "When you look at these other TV shows, what's interesting is the FCC does have a rule called the Equal Opportunity Rule, which means, for instance, if you're in the run-up to an election and you have one partisan elected official on, you have to give equal time, equal opportunity, to the opposing partisan politician," This is classic Trump era politics. Bully people with a tangential connection to a obscure law. That way it has an air of legality. Well it meanders through the courts. In the end it doesn't matter if it gets ruled down or not. This gives you time to be rule as a de facto authoritarian.
