10/13   Angelides to FCC: Mommy! Mommy! I want to be on Jay Leno too!
        http://tinyurl.com/y6vb69 (news.yahoo.com)
        \_ "To link me with George Bush is like linking me to an Oscar."
           Ouch.  Is the Academy gonna take that one sitting down?
        \_ Even Republicans have to obey the law.
           \_ No we don't.  That's why we stole the election in 2000 and then
              in 2004 we didn't even have one.  Our agents in the media just
              reported various random numbers and gave you something to vent
              about (some close but fake numbers in Ohio after a staged delay
              at the "polls").  These mid term elections will be the same as
              2004 and in 2008 we won't even bother having an election.  What
              would be the point anyway?  All who oppose us will be tried and
              executed: the debate is over.
              \_ The republicans just passed a bill abolishing the writ of
                 habeaus corpus.  All who appose you will be arrested and
                 imprisioned without trial.
           \_ And the republicans are not obeying the law how?
              Sounds more like the Democrats want to stifle Jay
              Leno's free speech right to talk to who ever he
              wants on his own show.
              \_ Did you even read the original post. NBC, which is owned
                 by General Electric, is violating the Federal Communications
                 Act.
                 \_ And republicans are not obeying the law how?
                    NBC may not be obeying the law, BUT how does
                    that equate to republicans not obeying the
                    law?  WRT to my comment that the Democrats
                    are trying to stifle Jay Leno's 1st amend.
                    free spech rights, it stands. The Democrats
                    are trying to twist a advertising law to
                    cover an entertainment show. If Angelides
                    wasn't boring, maybe he would have been
                    invited on.
                    \_ General Electric, which owns NBC, leans heavily GOP:
                       http://www.csua.org/u/h7f
                       They are also a big defence contractor. So their media
                       arm scratches the GOP's back, which in turn kicks back
                       contracts. This is how American politics works.
                       \_ So GE gives money to the GOP and is keeping Angelides
                          off the Leno show in order to keep RINO Ah-nuld in
                          power?  Just curious, have you ever worked for a
                          really large company or for the government?  Mostly
                          there is such chaos and stupidity and amazing levels
                          of paperwork and incompetency they're lucky they can
                          manage to redraw the lines in the parking lot.  Your
                          Grand Conspiracy Vision Thing is silly but amusing.
                          \_ Don't discount the Grand Conspiracy Vision Thing.
                             The same GCVT that is keeping Angelides off of
                             Leno may also be behind the media blackout of the
                             "hundreds" of incidents of violence by "Bush
                             Brownshirts" against dissidents, like that lady
                             in SF.
        \_ If he wasn't so boring he could be on Leno too.
           \_ Why do you hate boring people?
              \_ Why do you hate people who hate boring people?

Online "Tonight Show" Accused of Favoring the Governator By Natalie Finn Thu Oct 12, 6:17 PM ET Usually actors use a late-night talk show to announce that they're engaged, or that their wives are pregnant, or that they're really, really sorry for having been caught with that hooker. Arnold Schwarzenegger did in 2003, announcing his candidacy during a Tonight Show with Jay Leno appearance. In recent polls, Schwarzenegger is leading Angelides by a double-digit margin. Federal Communications Commission Tuesday, accusing the NBC show of violating the equal time statute of the Federal Communications Act that requires electronic media outlets to grant the same amount of on-air time to rival political candidates. Gary Coleman , were invited on camera and given 10 seconds to declare what they were all about. They all had to shout their ideas at the same time, but still. Becerra pointed out in his letter The Tonight Show's 2003 action, using it as an indicator that he's right about the equal protection provision. "The governor has spent $35 million in launching negative attack ads against Phil Angelides, and now NBC is just giving him further free time on national network TV to campaign," the candidate's spokesman, Brian Brokaw, told Reuters. NBC has said that Schwarzenegger's appearance tonight falls under an exemption to the equal time clause, because it would count as a bona fide news interview. "Consistent with The Tonight Show with Jay Leno's previous practice, NBC is following the news guidelines for interviewing a political candidate," Tonight Show spokeswoman Tracy St. "Under the news guidelines, the scheduled appearance of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on the Oct. Meanwhile, the FCC told reporters that it doesn't comment on broadcasts before they air. In the past, however, the government agency has ruled that politicians' appearances on entertainment shows such as Politically Incorrect, Howard Stern's radio show and The Daily Show have qualified as newsy interviews and therefore were exceptions to the rule. "While NBC is claiming that the governor's appearance is technically a news segment, Schwarzenegger is sandwiched in between a supermodel and a Las Vegas circus act, which isn't exactly what we would see on Meet the Press," Brokaw said. Maybe not, but Leno didn't forget the tough political questions. And Schwarzenegger proved that, just because he's a high-powered public official, he hasn't forgotten where he came from.
