> Baggy Baggers, Trump threatened CBS to not air interview of Dem Texas Senate candidate. Why does your lord and master hate free speech?

AI Overview

Under Section 315 of the Communications Act, FCC-licensed broadcast stations must provide equal opportunities (“equal time”) to legally qualified political candidates if a station allows a candidate to “use” its facilities. “Use” refers to any positive on-air appearance (not paid ads). Opposing candidates must receive comparable time and placement, with requests made within seven days.

In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired.

Nope, their own lawyers shut it down.

Colbert is already out the door. He is trying to burn down the house too.

The FCC doesnt have a rule saying both left and right get equal time on talk shows.
( But it is considering it because of shyt like Colbert is doing )

So when will Fox News, Newsmaxx, OAN, and the dozens of other right-wing propaganda outlets start featuring libs?

Why does "equal time" only apply to libs and not baggers?

And the equal time doctrine has been out the window for decades, by the way.

AI Overview
While Fox News is primarily known for a conservative viewpoint, the network regularly features liberal commentators, guests, and hosts, though specific, total numbers are not tracked. Figures like Jessica Tarlov, Juan Williams (formerly), and various Democratic guests appear regularly to provide opposing viewpoints, particularly on panel shows like The Five.


Key details:

Regular Panelists: Individuals such as Jessica Tarlov provide a consistent liberal perspective on high-profile opinion shows.

Segment Guests: Democratic politicians and liberal analysts frequently appear to discuss current events and policy.

Audience Data: According to a 2017 survey, approximately 10% of Fox News viewers identify as liberal Democrats.

AI Overview

Right-wing media outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, and One America News (OAN) often feature liberal voices primarily as counterpoints in debate-style formats, rather than as hosts or regular contributors, with the frequency varying significantly by network and program.

Fox News: Fox News has maintained a long-standing practice of featuring a "token" liberal voice on its opinion shows to provide debate. Jessica Tarlov is a regular liberal commentator on The Five. Guests from the left are occasionally featured on programs to debate topics like tax policy, the 2024 election, or specific administration policies. However, the network is predominantly conservative in its reporting and opinion content.

Newsmax: While Newsmax is known for its pro-Trump, conservative stance, it has featured figures from across the political spectrum as guests. However, the network primarily focuses on conservative and right-wing political commentary, and some of its commentators are former Trump campaign officials.

Hannity and Colmes was a good show.

Whoops!
