Can I just say, I think the two latino stations only showed the speeches of Obama and McCain...the two running for president.
I don’t think they showed the entire RAT convention. At least they were fair. BET could be fined for not showing both.
Couldn’t they?
“BET could be fined for not showing both.
Couldn’t they?”
Under the Fairness Doctrine, if that were to pass, yes. I don’t think they’re getting any kind of public funding, so I’d think they’re free to show what they want.
They could have prior to the Reagan administration's repeal of the "fairness doctrine".
hey it’s their ratings to lose to other networks
Nope, they can't be fined, we don't have the fairness doctrine any more, which is just great. Bet can show who they want, when they want, and that is the way it should be. If we go crabbing and complaining about things like this we are just opening outselves up to a repeat of the fairness doctrine, we don't need that sh**.
That's interesting. I hope it's true, because I've been very upset to learn that the two stations directed at an Hispanic audience might have been trying to manipulate that audience by not letting them see the Republican side. One of these stations - Telemundo, possibly - is owned by NBC.
Even complaining about it could be construed as a hate crime.
