Will CNN be required to give two hours of free advertising time to the Republican Party?

The MSM is just the “Free Media Loophole” that Democrats dare not speak it’s name.
With Obama being so obsessed about loopholes, maybe we should show him some that actually exist.

If they are fined by the number of viewers the government will owe them money.

CNN IS the Democrat Party they dont call it the Clinton News Network for nothing
To: BenLurkin
They were giving free time to the Repubs because they have been caving to the Dems for the past 2 years.

As I understand it, advertising on CNN is practically free as it is. Some of their shows on pull in some 60,000 viewers.
I rounded up to the nearest 10,000 just to be courteous.

The President is not running for any office.
No laws were broken.
No one watched. Now if Trump were on the show, they would have gotten some ratings. Most Americans don’t want to listen to Barry.

CNN is a cable channel and doesn’t have to follow the “equal-time rule” of broadcast stations.
To: Vermont Lt
So maybe it would be good for CNN to offer the Republican Party a two hour block of free advertising time?

I thought CNN is 24/7 Democrat Party.

And that is why campaign finance reform laws and regulations are not only violations of the 1st Amendment, but stupid in a free society. If you want a free society.
