The democrats continue losing the things that allowed them to steal election after election, and the latest blow to the democrat election crimes is the FCC telling broadcast TV stations that they must abide by the political equal opportunities requirements that says broadcast TV stations MUST give equal time to each political party – a very important rule that has been completely ignored by leftist fake news liars for at least a decade.
This doesn’t just mean news programs. The political equal opportunities requirements include all talk shows and late-night programs hosting political candidates, which must offer their opponents equal time.
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.… https://t.co/LliZF0po9t

The FCC on Wednesday issued guidance to ensure that programming on broadcast television must comply with political equal opportunities requirements and end what one expert referred to as “DNC TV,” Breitbart News has learned exclusively.
Decades ago Congress put protections in place through the Communications Act of 1934 to ensure that broadcast television ensures equal access to legally qualified candidates for office regardless of political affiliation. Under Section 315 of the Communications Act, if a broadcast station permits any legally qualified candidates to use its facilities, then it shall provide equal opportunity to all other legally qualified candidates for that office.
Congress in 1959 adopted limited exceptions to the equal opportunities requirements by amending Section 315 to exempt the equal opportunities requirement by a legally qualified requirement for any bona fide newscast, bona fide news interview, bona fide news documentary, or on-the-stop coverage of bona fide news events.
The FCC Media Bureau guidance noted that Congress amended Section 315 to reflect concern that broadcast stations would too broadly apply the exemptions in service of a political agenda.
“Indeed, the FCC has specifically noted that certain programs that might otherwise be exempt would be excluded from an exemption category if the program was ‘designed for the specific advantage of a candidate,’” the guidance stated.
