We favor the abolition of the equal access rule now governing network television news. Experience shows that, even without the rule, network news departments would generally be responsible enough to give roughly equal coverage to both major-party candidates in most elections, while even fringe and minor-party candidates would be probably receive some coverage as well. In any case, minor-party candidates would continue to have access to network time for paid political advertisements on the same terms as the major-party candidates, just as they do now.
A leader of a minor political party seeking maximum exposure for his or her candidates would be most interested in having the author of the above statement answer which of the following questions?
(A) How much total network time should be devoted to news coverage of all candidates in election news?
(B) What if only one major party offers a candidate in a particular local election race?
(C) Are the networks willing to include position statements by the minor-party candidates themselves in their coverage of those candidates’ races?
(D) Who would guarantee that ample network time for paid political advertisements would be continue to be readily available?
(E) What if a minor-party candidate cannot afford to buy network time in which to show paid political advertisements?
