It’s actually worse than that. According to FCC regulations, the Big Three operate in part due to their “public service” commitments, which includes running paid political ads.
Sessions already could have 15,000 lawyers and couldn’t investigate all the crap that’s out there, but this should be up there.

Maybe our AG could hire about 6 young and hungry conservative lawyers to go after the broadcasters based on the baker’s case. Give them a good work area, some fast computers and some hungry new conservative FBI agents to do some in the face investigating of these fake news outfits.
They might not come up with anything, but they might slow down the 24/7 fake news attacks against Trump and his people.

“Last I heard political speech is a particularly tricky category for any entity to so blatantly suppress. These outlets may have just stepped into a very expensive patch of legal mire. After all, if a baker must prepare a cake which contains statements anathema to his moral beliefs, by what right does an FCC licensed broadcast utility refuse a political ad?”
