Stelter on FCC Regulations: A ‘Little Guy’ Called Sean Hannity Has Said ‘We Need Less Gov’t Regulation and More Freedom’

EXCERPT:

STELTER: “So this rule, this is a way for the Trump Administration to try to even the playing field a little bit. But there‘s a cost here. Government intimidation comes at a cost. In the words of one famous TV host recently, 'We need less government regulation and more freedom. Let the American people decide where to get their information from, without any government interference.' You want to know who said that, Kaitlan? A little guy named Sean Hannity. Sean Hannity said that. Why? Because he doesn‘t want to see these equal time rules applied to conservative talk radio. So far, Carr is saying he‘s focused on TV, not radio. But technically, these rules apply to the broadcast airwaves of radio as well. And you have to wonder if a Democratic president might want to use these equal time rules for the radio in the future."
