Kamala Harris made a cameo appearance on Saturday Night Live over the weekend , triggering an FCC broadcast TV policy known as the “equal time rule” The equal time rule says broadcasters using the public airwaves have to provide legally qualified candidates for office “comparable time and placement to opposing candidates” It is a pretty archaic rule, but the days of broadcast TV dominance are obviously long gone.

Brendan Carr wants to be chair of the FCC in a second Trump administration.

He wants to punish companies for their speech on cable news.

Carr has been making the same censorious noises in favor of a particularly bad Trump executive order imposing moderation rules on social platforms.

Carr 's fellow FCC commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel warned that the order would turn the agency into the President's speech police.
