Hillary Clinton was just given a free political interview , LIVE, on ABC Nightly News . Will there be equal time for a Conservative candidate ??
No, because there is no Equal Time Law, thankfully.
Oh of course they are kissing her beady little axe,
I don't think so.

Dont hold your breath waiting for it.
Even if they did give a conservative candidate equal time, that would not make it balanced. You would see a stark difference in the line of questioning. I understand the candidates are trying to raise funds, but this is way too early for the '08 campaign. We'll all be sick of it by summer. I already am. We'll have another year and a half of people on both sides spinning and second-guessing everything that happens between now and November '08.
I'm sure ABC will balance this interview .

Sure, like the MSM is fair and balanced....
Anchor: "Mr Conservative, Do you still kill kittens and beat young children......?"
"Even if they did give a conservative candidate equal time, that would not make it balanced."
No, they'd be drilling him with loaded leading questions questions full of unfounded accusations, of the 'have you quit beating your wife?' genre. they couldn't pull it off in the 2004 election, but this time they'll be more partisan than ever. It makes me sick, too, especially when the Republicans submit to it.
Did ABC ask Hillary why she threatened her husband's rape victim Juanita Broaddrick three weeks after the attack?
Maybe her opponents in her own party can pitch hissy fits, but news is news.
I'm sure that was on the list of questions to be asked, but they ran out of time before they got to it..(sarc/off)
So why do the demorats get equal time after the state of the union address?
Hilary is running to the right of Obama, Kucinich ... and Hugo Chavez. Therefore, she IS the equal time spokesperson.
I am sure they asked about her and bill's attempted
end run around the 22nd amendment (being get two for the
price and one and all that),and if she rules out a sandy
burglar spot in her administration if elected.
It is not required, but the networks provide time for the "Loyal Opposition". Let's see if they allow that when a Democrat takes office in the White House.
on NBC too
Let's pray that we won't ever have to find out.
