NBC gave equal time to the MAGA candidate after the Trump-appointed FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr called the SNL appearance of Kamala Harris a “clear and blatant” violation of FCC rules.
The rule lets rival candidates ask for equal air time if they want it.
The Trump campaign seized the opportunity to spread the Make America Garbage Great Again message for free toward the end of a NASCAR race, as well as during the postgame analysis of Sunday Night Football, both aired on NBC.
The one minute message played twice.
On Sunday, NBC filed a notice with the FCC that it had featured Harris for 90 seconds, while offering Trump equal time before the election.
*** I’m not a McMath expert, but if Trump took advantage of a one minute ad that aired twice, and Kamala’s appearance on SNL lasted 90 seconds, maybe this isn’t equitable.
