TV Station Fined for Barring Candidate from Debate [semi-satire]

The Florida Department of Health fined WESH-2, an Orlando television station, $10,000 for not allowing Scotty Moore, the Republican candidate for a Florida Congressional District to participate in a televised debate last October because he had not received the covid vaccine.

State Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo explained that "since the covid vaccines are neither safe nor effective and state law explicitly prohibits using a person's vaccination status as an excuse to deny him the right to enter a business' premises, the fine is warranted."

Station manager Martin Crook shrugged off what he called "a piffling irritation. Mr. Moore went on to lose his election bid. Keeping this enemy of democracy out of Congress is of immense value to the country. If our barring him from the debate helped accomplish this the $10,000 fine was a bargain. At this price I can see no reason why we shouldn't bar every Republican from ever appearing on our station in the future."
