FCC Commissioner: NBC Evaded Equal TIme Rules With Harris on ‘SNL’
3rd November 2024
Brendan Carr, the senior Republican on the Federal Communications Commission, Sunday accused NBC of evading the agency’s “equal time” requirements by featuring Vice President Kamala Harris in her “Saturday Night Live” debut just days before the election.
“This is a clear and blatant effort to evade the FCC’s Equal Time rule,” Carr posted on X.
“The purpose of the rule is to avoid exactly this type of biased and partisan conduct — a licensed broadcaster using the public airwaves to exert its influence for one candidate on the eve of an election.”
