I'm not saying ALL NASCAR but a majority of fans, likely. So, an ad to your base isn't going to win you new votes.

interesting as a comedy sketch.

We were all curious about what Harris would do and say in comedy.

Where was the “equal time” consideration then???

I cannot wait to have this obnoxious hypocritical projecting whiny ass bitch out of our lives once and for all.

Google is your friend.
See this article. https://variety.com/2015/biz/news/donald-trump-saturday-night-live-equal-time-1201619261/

Why would he want to be on that show???? Because he's a whiny-ass crybaby.

He can use that time however he wants.

I'm an attorney who has worked at the FCC and practiced communications law for over four decades.

Talking about his bad hair day. About boats and sharks and shooting people he doesn't like. What's the use?

Not sure what the point you're trying to make.

Chump gets at least a couple call-in interviews per week, whether he's running as a candidate or not. What has Fox News ever done for Kamala, or for any Democrats?

NBC should have told him that Saturday Night Live is not news, it's entertainment. He gets way more "free time" on their news broadcast than any Democrat, even Joe Biden. Chump's demand for "equal time" on NBC is just ludicrous. I can't believe they gave in to him.

I can't wait until this election is over and we're finally done with him.

It is intended primarily to ensure that an equal amount of reasonably priced advertising time is made available to competing candidates. It also applies to "free" appearances.

In fact, the reason it applied to SNL is because SNL is not a news program

NBC gave him the time because the law requires them to do so. So not "ludicrous." If you don't like the law, take it up with your elected member of Congresss since it is a statutory requirement. Although don't expect to get much headway since it has very broad Democratic party support.

Here is more information if you'd like to learn more about the "equal time" -- really "equal opportunities" rule: https://www.fcc.gov/sites/default/files/political_programming_fact_sheet.pdf

Thanks for educating the ignorant - in this case I am talking about myself.

We talked a bit about these policies in my journalism classes way back in the last century. But I have forgotten a lot, and a lot may have changed. It is helpful getting cogent reminders from experts in the field.

As others have pointed out Trump was preaching to the choir with a NASCAR audience, just as Harris was with the SNL audience. They may not have changed any minds, but they may have encouraged some of their supporters to vote.

They are owned by Comcast....the worst rated company next to out right fraudsters. Comcast is owned by a bunch of investment management companies. Who needs investment management the most? Yes, the filthy-rich.

All these companies owning companies, owning companies (if corporations were people this would be considered slavery.) is a way of hiding ownership and avoiding responsibility and accountability.

The people who put their money into these irresponsible corporations want to keep their tax give aways, their subsidies and free loans they don't pay back.

So they give Trump free publicity. Harris had to do something for the exposure she got from SNL. She had to do the skit and make jokes. She had to be a genuine nice person. All Trump did was bloviate.

This is an illegal campaign contribution if Trump doesn't report this as a contribution to the FEC.

This is reverse fascism. Corporations controlling the US government by interfering in elections to get more fascism.

It isn't an illegal contribution. It is required by 47 USC 315.
