2.6 Trump and SNL

1. Trump's rivals are entitled to the same amount of screen time on NBC as he received on Saturday.

2. They can request an equal opportunity to appear on-air for free to deliver their individual messages.

3. As the episode becomes more popular and more it gets more views, so will the amount of time that the other candidates will get.

4. There are many exceptions to the equal-time doctrine, the that is most popular would most likely be "bona fide" news or documentaries. They also has the ability to decide what should be done instead of forcing broadcast stations to hand over airtime.

5. It has created a culture that makes broadcasters shy away from political candidates, because they know that they might have to allow other candidates the same opportunity, and while Trump might be good for business other candidates might not be.

6. Political debates, talk-show appearances, and documentaries.

7. They could force contribution limits, disclosure requirements, and possibly fines.
