FCC lifts equal time rule for press conferences
The FCC voted 5 to 2 to exempt presidential and other candidate press conferences and debates from equal time requirements. Broadcasters may cover such events as bona fide news, potentially altering coverage dynamics in the 1976 campaign and raising concerns about unequal attention to major candidates. The ruling, opposed by two commissioners, ends a long standing policy criticized as stifling coverage.
