As an attorney with occasional experience with the Equal Time rule, I can explain what's going on here and how the FCC's Brandon Carr is leveraging his position to force late night and daytime talk show hosts to exclude Democratic candidates.

First I need to explain the Equal Time rule itself. 1/

Scoop: Arizona GOP insurance paid $1M for fake elector legal fees The GOP electors falsely asserted that Donald Trump won the state's 2020 electoral votes.
