It's political season.
There's legally qualified candidates that you're going to have on, and be mindful of the equal time rule.
rule and again on the colbert episode they were apparently given advice that they could do this but colbert apparently did not want to have jasmine crockett on who's running in opposition in the democrat primary to james talarico and it appears to be that he ran a hoax that he knew he could fool the mainstream media the legacy media by claiming he was censored he could drive clicks and donations and get a leg up on jasmine crockett and the national news media just went along hook line and seen
because it fit with all their priors that this was trump censorship but this was a decision by colbert and by talarico to put a hoax out there that they knew the media would run for purposes of talarico apparently scoring political points against jasmine crockett if i was jasmine crockett i'd be pretty upset by that all right so tell me about the view what's happening with the view
The view is similar.
So the view apparently is claiming that they are a bonafide news program and therefore can have one political candidate on and not afford equal opportunity to other candidates.
And what we have said is that the view has not
established, they've not made the case to the FCC that they do in fact qualify for the exception to the rule.
And so we have started an enforcement inquiry, taking enforcement actions to explore this issue with them and move forward.
Again, they have not made the case that they are a bona fide news program and we're actively looking at that.
Well, I don't think everything they're saying there in terms of their understanding of the way this rule operates is right.
But listen, if a collateral unintended consequence of me doing my job is we've got a lot more converts to small government conservatism, I guess I'll take it as a win.
But to your point, think about it this way.
A lot of times the Republicans are in government and they get gavels.
They take their gavel and they go to the farthest flung corners of the earth and they bury the gavel in the sand.
And they say, if we were to actually just apply the law in a even handed way, then Democrats will get the gavel again and they'll weaponize it.
And what that fundamentally misreads, among other things, is we have a job to do.
The statute requires this.
Let's apply it.
Let's not weaponize it.
