The senior Republican commissioner on the Federal Communications Commission blasted Vice President Kamala Harris’ “Saturday Night Live” debut as a “clear and blatant effort” to evade the Equal Time rule. Brendan Carr stressed that the FCC’s “equal time” requirements mandate opposing candidates to get the same air time, and alleged that NBC “structured this appearance in a way that evades these requirements” by timing it so close to Election Day.
“This is a clear and blatant effort to evade the FCC’s Equal Time rule. 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,” Carr wrote on X.
What he failed to mention in his post was that the skit wasn't at all funny, it was a straight-up ripoff of a bit they did eight years ago - with Trump no less - and that Kamala cackled through the entire thing. I never noticed it before I saw the bit (don't get excited - I recorded it and watched it over my bowl of Raisin Bran) is what an incredible horse-mouth she actually is. God forbid she elected on Tuesday. Juss' sayin...
