Oh, look. NBC aired an ad for former President Donald Trump at the end of the NASCAR ace and Sunday Night Football.
NBC made the decision after FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr blasted the network for allowing VP Kamala Harris on SNL.
I wonder how many people saw the ad, though. The Fox article (published at The New York Post) said it aired towards the end of the race and football game.
Trump says:
Hello to our great sports fans, and I hope you’re having a fantastic time. We’re two days away from the most important election in the history of our country. We’ve got to save our country, and it needs saving. It’s in very bad shape. The worst economic numbers in generations were just announced two days ago. We’re losing jobs. We’re losing everything, including viability. We’re going to end up in a depression based on what’s been happening. We’ve never seen anything like it, at least for the last 40 years. We have to straighten out our country. We have to close our borders. We have to lower our taxes. We have to get rid of inflation, and we’re going to do it. Just remember, Kamala and her friends broke it. I’ll fix it. Most important election in the history of our country. Go and vote.
Harris appeared in SNL’s cold opening with Maya Rudolph.
Carr went off on NBC on X.
Carr later told Fox: “This has all the appearances of, at least some leadership at NBC, at SNL, making clear that they wanted to weigh-in in favor of one candidate before the election. That’s exactly why, for decades, we’ve had an equal time rule on the book, is to prevent that. Because remember, broadcasters are placed in a special position of trust. They’re not just like any other person with a soapbox on the corner. They have a license from the federal government that obligates them to operate in the public interest.”
