Leon Musk says SNL was unfair because

[Devilsun]

They had Kamala on the show but not tRump. How can he be so ignorant regarding the fairness doctrine that Reagan did away with?

1. Well say goodbye to free speech....

What say you people who voted for the hell being released upon us.

[Dem4life1234]

2. He has no sense of humor

The mainstream news basically kisses his fat ass.

[City Lights]

3. Awwww, poor widdle baby!

Does Leon need a Binky?

4. Wait till they depict Elon 's clown ass jumping

around like a monkey trying to catch peanuts tossed to him by Trump.
He’s well on his way to becoming our new national joke.

7. You know he was born in Africa don't you?

[EYESORE 9001]

8. You know he was born on the white AND rich side in apartheid-era South Africa comma don't you?

10. My post still is factually correct. Not sure why you deny that.

I just don’t think depictions as you posted is a great way to express.

[EYESORE 9001]

12. My post is factually correct as well

He hardly fits a spurious connection between his social stratum and those of black Africans on the continent. Are you trying to say that his comedic portrayal would somehow reflect poorly upon Africans in general. Sorry, I’m gonna have to see your work on how you arrived at such a conclusion.

13. I guess we will have to wait and see how they go about doing it, if they do that skit at all.

9. Yes, but Elon has firmly planted his sorry ass

here in the USA.

[Mike Nelson]

5. Elon?

... the guy who complained that Facebook was too liberal-biased?

[Initech]

6. Trump would have turned it down even if he was invited.

So why bother?

[Jose Garcia]

11. You are confusing the Fairness Doctrine with the Equal-time rule

The Equal-time rule was never repealed.

[jimfields33]

14. Trumps been on Saturday night live many times over the decades. If he wanted to go on,

He would have complained until he got his way. I doubt he wanted to go on it this year.

15. Someone, call the waaaaaahmbulence!

[Fiendish Thingy]

16. Actually, NBC had to give Trump equal time to compensate for Harris' SNL appearance

They gave him two minutes during a NASCAR event.

The fairness doctrine died years ago, but that was about content , not candidates. If a station aired an editorial expressing opinions, it had to give equal time to the opposing opinion.

That rule has been dead for a long time.

But if a candidate is given free air time, that is considered an “in kind” campaign donation unless the other candidate is given equal time. It’s not related to the fairness doctrine.

I don’t know how it works for talk shows like the View or Colbert- I’m guessing they offered the Trump campaign the opportunity to come on the show and face hostile questions, but were turned down.

18. Talk shows are exempt from the equal time rule.
