2020 Presidential Election

[BmorePat87]

Hoping to reach a conservative audience, Pete Buttigieg reached out to nationally syndicated Country music radio host Blair Garner for an interview. Cumulus, the broadcaster, refused to air it, citing the Equal Time Rule, suggesting that all other candidates would have to be given the same access if they aired it. Some disagreed with this take, saying that the Equal Time Rule really would just apply to political ads, not an news interview.

Garner posted the interview on Soundcloud.
