Cable channels are not covered by the Equal Time Rule, and HBO says they will run the movie regardless of what Fred does, as he is nearly unrecognizable due to heavy costuming.
None of the men participating tonight in the Fox News hosted Republican party debate will be the next President of the United States.
TNT is taking the position that they are covered, and is also owned by Time Warner (who also owns HBO).
Regardless of the costume or anything else, I think the biggest fear is other candiates demanding airtime, if HBO is saying they will run regardless of what Thompson does, that only means that intend to challenge if a candiate demands the airtime, but TNT is NOT taking that position at all and is going to act in compliance of equal air time, I remember reading something about TNT compliance in the daily news only a few days ago.
San Hannity just gave Rudy 5 minutes of free time. Sean is an idiot!
