NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” may have broken federal regulations governing airtime with the appearance of Vice President Kamala Harris this weekend, an FCC official said.
FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr says the appearance may have violated the equal time rule, a requirement that public broadcast organizations offer comparable time and placement to qualifying candidates during a major election.
Carr said Harris’ appearance on SNL may have broken the rule if NBC did not also send an invitation to former President Trump.
“This is a clear and blatant effort to evade the FCC’s Equal Time rule,” Carr wrote of Harris’ appearance. “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. Unless the broadcaster offered Equal Time to other qualifying campaigns.”
When she loses, and she will lose, eventually the pundits and professional stenographers for the regime will be forced to note, Gen-Z killed her chances.

Take it for what it’s worth: Source of mine who heads political affairs at a major Wall Street firm — and can’t stand Trump—says his numbers show Trump winning and GOP getting 53 seats in senate given latest polling momentum

Tina, Charlie Gasparino said as much earlier on Fox this past week. He also mentioned others that had the same information using polls that aren’t the standard fare given to the public. He also stated that the CEO’s of Apple, Google and JP Morgan had called Trump to ‘get on his good side while the going was good.’
Tina, Mr. Gasparino might have been, but he and others in the finance field probably see the ‘writing on the wall’. He keeps saying things that these people ‘have access to polling data that the average citizen does not’.
So the GOP leads by 43K+ votes in NV…but in Clark County, the Dems lead by 60K+…so outside of Clark County the R’s lead by over 100K votes. Let that sink in.
BREAKING: Lots of regret in the Kamala campaign over not choosing Josh Shapiro, per WH official. Obamas were pushing Walz, Biden recommended Shapiro. Now she’s spending entire last campaign day in PA
Selzer poll on the four Congressional districts; yeah, she got a bad sample, pure and simple. I do t think that’s a knock against her, even the best will fail 5% of the time (1 in 20 average outlier rate).
Selzer knew what she was doing. She had to rig the congressional races as well or otherwise it would have been exposed upon her releasing all the polls rather than just the presidential one.
Any qualified professional would double check their results if what they are seeing in their data sample is so diametrically opposed to past data and, frankly, what good sense would indicate. She is in on the attempted fix.
Good. But in any case, I don’t really believe Shapiro would have “delivered” PA to Kamala. He might helped on the margins in PA, would have screwed her on the margins in MI.
I don’t see Shapiro pulling that many votes from Indies in PA like I would see, for example, Youngkin pulling in Indies in VA. One reason is that Youngkin’s approval rate with Indies is 66% in VA, much higher than Shapiro’s.
Don’t get me wrong, he is a better candidate than Walz.
“Explanation” by a liberal on why the Dem firewall in PA is more like a firefence.
“Maybe, just maybe, they’re deciding to vote in person because they don’t Trust Republicans not to try to get their mail-in-ballots thrown out just like Republicans have already tried to do THIS election.
If Ds vote for Ds and Rs for Rs, then the Indy vote have to make up almost 200k votes in a universe of 600k votes. In other words, win them by like 400k to 200k.
Last time that happened (in 1989), IA punished the in-party and went heavily for Dukakis (second best performance after RI, I believe, and better than MA!).
This also happened in 1948; farm states were having a rough go of it and, despite voting for Dewey against FDR in 1944, flipped to Truman.
With respect to nevada, what has come up often in the news from voters is inflation/poor economy. This includes some Ds (a Hispanic business owner who owns a restaurant.
Nevada also has the highest state unemployment rate.
I think many Rs don’t answer polls because they think it might be a scam to dox them. And they have reason to believe that, people with Trump signs are getting threatening letters.
I was reluctant when I was polled, but I researched the company, seemed legit, so I answered the second time they called. The number they called me from panned out too, I checked.
While it was d +6 in 2020, one has to look at the different counties. Washoe is r plus 9. This includes reno and sparks. The indies woukd be more inclined to break towards trump vs the ones in Clark county.
So, in addition to Nv having the highest state unemployment rate, we need to also look at the counties.
Clark county has an unemployment rate of 5.9%. This is the highest and may be a reason why Quemala is not doing as well as demented (or Harry Reid in that county).
It also appears that the culinary workers (not the union) are standing down or voting for Trump. It was explained by one blue collar worker that he had one good job under trump, but he now works 3 part time jobs just to make ends meet.
so basically, it looks like its coming down to this. Will Republicans still win election day voting in percentages that they normally get, or will the early voting cannibalize their election day vote, and Dems secure wins across the board. Is this 2022 or is this 2016.
