Interesting question: Are the Republicans 'owed' 4 hours of prime-time coverage?

Or what exactly is going to happen if they don't have any speeches during their convention? Will the GOP complain of unfair bias if they don't get an equal amount of airtime at some point in the future?

4 days of 4 hour infomercials by the republicans. Fuck me.

2. With No Fairness Doctrine

Since they did away with the fairness doctrine, I don't think they are OWED anything.
