BROADCAST BIAS: Idea of giving politicians equal time sends Colbert into a fury

Is the concept of ‘equal time’ outdated on today’s broadcast networks? The Federal Communications Commission put regulations on the books in 1934 requiring equal air time for political candidates during an election season.
