****BREAKING****FCC Chairman Brendan Carr Says He Might Go After The View

42. The guy is a moron. He doesn't even understand his own rule.

First of all, he calls it the "equal opportunity rule". In reality it's called the "equal time rule" and it doesn't say what he apparently thinks it does. The equal-time rule (47 U.S. Code § 315 - Candidates for public office) specifies that American radio and television broadcast stations must provide equivalent access to competing political candidates. This means, for example, that if a station broadcasts a message by a candidate, it must offer the same amount of time on the same terms (in, say, prime time) to an opposing candidate.

The View has always had people of all political persuasions on, including Trump himself. Chris Christie and Arnold Schwarzenegger are both pretty frequent guests. But even that is irrelevant. The Equal Time Rule only applies to Candidates for Public office. They haven't had an active candidate for political office on the show since Kamala Harris last year (at least I can't find evidence of any active candidates appearing on the show). Most political people they have on the show are current or former officeholders, not candidates. And there is no equal time rule that applies to current and former officeholders - only candidates.
