[QUOTE="Tuur, post: 77528357, member: 445885"] The networks pulled this same stunt when Reagan was president. Reagan responded by opening a televised press conference with a speech. Be that as it may, if you look at the laws governing television campaign ads, it does raise an interesting question: In airing the comments of one candidate and censoring those of another during an election year, have the networks crossed that line? At one time networks were so cautious about this that when the animated version of [I]Star Trek[/I] aired, an affiliate where George Taki was running for local office refused to air it during the campaign. I think there was also some controversy when [I]Laugh-In, [/I]on the night before the 1968 election, aired Nixon saying the show's catch phrase. A quick search turned this up: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.fcc.gov/sites/default/files/political_programming_fact_sheet.pdf[/URL] Also this: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.fcc.gov/media/policy/political-programming[/URL] The second link references the link below: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.fcc.gov/media/policy/statutes-and-rules-candidate-appearances-advertising[/URL] The real question is whether any of this applies.
