2. The FCC is literally claiming they are "news", "not comedy"

“When you look at these other TV shows, what’s interesting is the FCC does have a rule called the equal opportunity rule,” he said. “But there’s an exception to that rule called the bona fide news exception, which means if you are a bona fide news program, you don’t have to abide by the equal opportunity rule.

Carr continued, “And over the years, the FCC has developed a body of case law on that and has suggested that most of these late night shows, other than SNL, are bona fide news programs. And potentially I would assume you can make the argument that The View is a bona fide news show, but I’m not so sure about that, and I think it’s worthwhile to have the FCC look into whether The View and some of the programs that you have still qualify as bona fide news programs and therefore exempt from the equal opportunity regime that Congress has put in place.”

I'm curious. News was/is classified as the non-profit arm of the networks, hence could be regulated. Is Carr saying that late night comedy is "non-profit"? I don't know where he's getting this stuff from.
