So you see general entertainment TV shows as the same as literally conservative radio? If a conservative radio show gave equal time to Jasmine Crockett who would even listen? If Hannity gave equal time to Joe Biden, probably hours of equal time, who would even want that? Or take it seriously? That's like a Mosque giving equal time to a Rabbi. That's not the spirit of the rule. Late night entertainment shows were getting around the rule by claiming they were news shows that are exempt.
- xracy 8mo agoyou're asking them to enforce the rule. I'm asking them to enforce the rule consistently if they're going to enforce the rule. Otherwise it's a first amendment violation. I'm opposed to violations of the first amendment. I don't care "who is going to listen to it?" if it's a rule, it's applied consistently or not at all. No "special case" for conservatives.

If Hannity gave equal time to Joe Biden, probably hours of equal time, who would even want that? (As far as the FCC is allowed to consider within First Amendment boundaries,) What makes Stephen Colbert's show "general entertainment" under the assumption that Hannity's show is "conservative"? Put another way, what makes Hannity's show not "general entertainment" yet makes Colbert's show "general entertainment"? (I'm not trying to distract from xracy's comment [1] about selective enforcement.) [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47097939 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47097939
