That way the public interest is served by showing the speech on one broadcast tv network (god forbid anybody should have to watch C-SPAN) and by showing all the other scheduled programming that people actually want to watch. The loser network could throw in a whole lot of MAGA-friendly advertising before and after to make up for being stuck with the speech. Everybody wins!

make FOX show is and leave the rest of the networks alone. It his favorite network anyway.

if the networks stick together, even ellison, murdoch, etc. they, and we, win.

if just one of these guys fold the others lose as well, the defector thinking he has an edge.

"It'd be a shame if something happened to your broadcast license"

Dems get the same amount of time right before the World Cup game.

... "Jellybean" Reagan killed the Fairness Doctrine, which required equal time be given to opposing views. Leave it to a fucking Republican to piss in the punchbowl.

or should that be gross-er-ies since people can't contain themselves?

does a chump speech "deliver news or content in primetime"? They are just Festivus lists of grievances, TACO threats, and worthless promises. In other words, "nothing to see [here]".

Broadcasters, please take note.

That may be true (though it doesn't seem like it). If so, then they have an obligation - in the public interest - to refuse to air dangerous LIES about our elections, even if they are from a POTUS. ESPECIALLY if they are from a POTUS.

there is streaming and cable to watch if we choose to.
