NBC airs video message from Trump in apparent bid to provide equal time after Harris ‘SNL’ appearance

NBC News aired a short video message from former President Trump on Sunday evening in an effort to provide the leading presidential candidates with equal airtime after Vice President Harris made an appearance on “Saturday Night Live” (SNL).

The network was broadcasting a NASCAR playoff race, but toward the end of its broadcast, Trump looked into the camera and addressed the crowd in a recorded message.

That was the right thing to do except it will not get the press or air play the SNL deal got.

NBC violated the law and did so knowingly and should be fined.
They also removed any doubts about them being even 1pct non bias.

It’s a fucking comedy show. One that Trump appeared on as a candidate in 2015.

Anything you guys can do to manufacture outrage.

But hey just more of your buying all of Trump’s talking points.

I am not outraged nor have I expressed outrage manufactured or otherwise.
I just stated the fact that NBC basically gave the Harris campaign a free commercial and it obviously had been rehersed and planned for probably over a month.

They knew it was in violation of election law but didn't care.

You are only concerned about the left and election law. You’re silent about the right.

Trump has refused to do anything with the mainstream media after his disastrous debate. Remember that one? The one you said was a tie? :lol: :lol: :lol:

And let’s be clear, Glenn. The SNL appearance, which was very short, did not win or lose her one vote. As the NASCAR commercial didn’t do a thing for Trump.

She didn’t even ask for America to vote for her, which Trump DID do. They just did a funny riff on her name. You’ve never seen SNL, so you have no idea WHAT happens on it.

Just like you didn’t know that Trump has appeared on it as a candidate.

Easy to tell that Trump lost the whole time. But you were on his side. You’re like the Black Knight on Monty Python and the Holy Grail, who gets all his arms and legs chopped off, and you scream “we’ll call it a draw!” :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

“ What is the FCC's equal time rule?

The FCC's equal time rule requires American radio and television broadcast stations to provide equal access to competing political candidates. The rules do not apply to cable channels or other video content, including podcasts or social media.

If Donald Trump were to request equal time from NBC after Harris' appearance on "SNL," the broadcaster would have to provide it before Election Day on Tuesday.”

So there’s that.

I checked and the venues had comparable viewership. So NBC was thorough.

The usual procedure is they offer it to both candidates. They also knew that the SNL skit would go viral. While nobody knows about Trump on NASCAR and it definitely won't go viral.

Had they offered Trump a skit on the same broadcast he would have turned it down and there would be no violations

That’s not the way the regulations work. It was managed properly.

Yup, that's when the Nooz became completely biased, and it's only gotten worse with the nearly complete irrelevance of the FCC. Same for AM broadcasting, which used to require time for rebuttals and such, but now doesn't even care if humans are running the transmitter.

Proud Boys claim they'll be at polling places as Trump ups violent rhetoric and election fraud claims

PHILADELPHIA — As Donald Trump yet again tells his supporters he can lose Tuesday only if there's massive voter fraud and as he ramps up violent rhetoric about Democrats and other "enemies," members of the far-right group that put more "boots on the ground" than any other at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, say they're mobilizing.

The last time Trump tried to overturn his election loss, the Proud Boys played a critical role, jumping into action on Jan. 6 just weeks after Trump gave the group a major recruitment boost by telling it to “stand back and stand by” during a presidential debate. The group, which was “thirsting for violence and organizing for action,” sent members to the Capitol to act as “Donald Trump’s army,” federal prosecutors said later. Several Proud Boys leaders were ultimately convicted of seditious conspiracy and are still in prison, including former chairman Enrique Tarrio, who is serving 22 years, the longest sentence given to any Jan. 6 defendant.

America will regret its decision to reelect Donald Trump

A presidential campaign defined by personal hatreds, threats of political violence and two foiled assassination attempts ended on Tuesday in a mostly orderly election. No matter what the results ultimately show, Americans’ commitment to a fair and peaceful vote is a thumb in the eye to authoritarians both at home and abroad.

That’s about all the joy Democrats (and lovers of democracy) will find in yesterday’s election results. The fleeting optimism that washed over the party after Ann Selzer’s storied Iowa poll showed Kamala Harris unexpectedly leading Donald Trump by 3 points has crashed back to reality. In its place is the realization that democracy’s worst-case scenario is unfolding in real time.

Please explain to me why, for the first time in forever, the GOP is going to have full power to do what they want, that they won’t do anything they’ve promised to do?

For only the first two years. And during that time, he was worried about getting re-elected, and he had people in his administration that would tell him no. He wanted Hillary jailed, and his AG Jeff Sessions told him no. Hell, he’s going to put Gen. Micheal Flynn in charge of the Military. What could POSSIBLY go wrong there?

Trump has no guardrails because there’s not going to be anyone to tell him no, and he doesn’t care about getting re-elected.

Sure he doesn't think he can change the Constitution or whatever specifies two terms? It would be just like him.

On one hand, the Constitution is pretty clear. AND Trump is really old.

On the other hand, the Supreme Court is who decides what it says. And we found out with the 14th and 15th amendment, that they can twist it however they want. They sure didn’t make Trump ineligible under the insurrection language in Sec. 3 of the 14th.

I mean, look at it this way. Trump swears he WON the 2020 election and was the rightful President. So, how do they allow him to be President now?

So whatever the Trump Court does from now on is sooo honest and non-partisan.

But it does make me wonder - the Immunity case wasn't decided 9-0. Does that make any difference to you?
