Brendan Carr's comments highlighted a concern regarding Kamala Harris' appearance on SNL, suggesting it undermined the FCC's Equal Time rule intended to ensure fair access for all political candidates.
The Equal Time rule mandates US broadcasters to give equal opportunities to all political candidates, allowing each candidate comparable air time and prevent biased portrayals, ensuring integrity in broadcasting.
Carr emphasized that past appearances by candidates, including Trump and Clinton, required NBC to file notices that allowed other candidates equal access – underscoring the precedent and importance of equal representation.
Despite the comedic nature of SNL, Carr’s warning regarding Kamala’s followed a serious concern about the misuse of broadcast privileges for partisan gain during an election cycle.
