Republican FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr Accuses Kamala Harris, NBC of Violating Equal Time Rule with SNL Appearance
Nov 3, 2024, 04:39 PM
FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr, a senior Republican commissioner, has accused Vice President Kamala Harris and NBC of violating the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) Equal Time Rule with Harris's recent appearance on 'Saturday Night Live' (SNL). The Equal Time Rule mandates that broadcasters provide equal airtime to political candidates to ensure fairness. Carr alleges that the skit, which aired on November 2, was a 'clear and blatant effort' to evade this rule, potentially exerting undue influence on voters ahead of the upcoming election. The Trump campaign is reportedly reviewing whether to file an FCC complaint regarding the incident.
