"""CBS, ABC & NBCAll Regulated By The FCCAre NOT Giving Equal Time To Trumps Defense Team As They Did To The Dem Prosecutors Last Week """ BLACKOUT: CBS, ABC & NBCall regulated by the FCCare NOT giving equal time to covering lawyers arguing in defense of Trump in front of Senate now, as they did last week when they covered Schiff & Dem prosecutors arguing for Trumps removal in wall-to-wall preemptive coverage. And it seems that this witch hunt is no more interesting for the American citizens too. At least for Trumps supporters.
The Associated Press reported Monday that Americans are increasingly tuning out and not in to see their favorite Members of Congress debate whether the president held foreign aid in limbo until Ukrainian officials agreed to investigate his political rivals, or whether what the House impeachment panel compiled in their weeks-long effort is sufficient to vote on whether to keep Trump in office.
For all the gravity of a presidential impeachment trial, Americans dont seem to be giving it much weight, the outlet said Monday.

We knew they were going to play dirty and use the excuse that no one is interested in watching it AFTER the fact that they gave the other side ZILLIONS of tv hours!! Remember the FCC is part of the swamp..so yeah, don't hold your breath!!🙁

That is subject to which side of the double standard you come down on. In this case, the msm came down on the dem side. So it's all good.

TV stations are regulated by the FCC, I don’t know if networks are.

Another option is to file a FEC complaint alleging the extra broadcast time for Dems is an in kind donation.

Honest to God how do you drain the swamp, but let all the rats live? To be honest, how much of the swamp has Trump really drained? He holds none of these crooks accountable and their lawbreaking appears to be worse than ever with fat ass Barr blowing pipes and pounding cheeseburgers!

I didn’t spend a lot of time looking, but from what I saw, they carried none of the impeachment trial, locally. I had to watch it on PBS.

The fairness doctrine died off during the Reagan administration.

I’d say most people have the gut feeling that it’s unserious and not worth paying much attention to. The Democrats and the media say it’s super serious but the “body language” of the whole thing says otherwise and people are picking up on that.
To: blueyon
It’s the over the air equivalent of “spiking” any story favorable to Trump.
Most of the LI voters won’t even notice that they didn’t hear Trump’s side of it.

There is NO Fairness Doctrine thanks to Republicans. Public licenses no longer require it. They can do whatever they want.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think Clinton’s impeachment was on television at all, except C-Span.

When the Watergate break-in happened, the Fake News Media of the the day rarely, if ever, mentioned that Nixon did it in an effort to expose an international prostitution ring reportedly being run out of those DNC offices.

Fred Flietz on fox news said something pretty funny- “Democrats are scared to death that American voters will interfere with the next election” or something to that effect-

But if it wasn't for the Fairness Doctrine being trashed, talk radio wouldn't have taken off as it did. Rush Limbaugh would never have been able to have the airtime and audience he can rightfully boast of.
I think it was in Rushs first book that he explained it very well, how the end of the Fairness Doctrine opened the marketplace wide open.
