Would this “equal time” BS apply to CBS,NBC,ABC,CNN,MSNBC,PBS,NPR, and all the other commie propaganda outlets?? Hmm?

No. It would have some application in a Republican administration but by that time the Radio companies will be quite gun-shy and will not put on anything like a conservative. They would get sued into oblivion or just shut down and managers jailed in the next Democrat administration. The old Fairness Doctrine used to work that way. Republican administrations threatened the licences of leftist broadcasters and Democrats leaned on perceived conservatives. In fact there was almost nothing on the air that could be possibly construed as “conservative” and liberal bs was “nonpartisan” and mostly immune. Walter Cronkite defined “non-political.”
