I know they didn't have to jump at the chance to do it, but isn't there some sort of rule that during elections there has to be equal time given between those that are running, if it's during primetime?
Nah.
Biden has one on ABC at the same time and it's an hour longer btw. I am reasonably certain far more people will be watching it.

They could've done it another time. Or a different night. Or not at all (I dont think the equal time rule applies since Biden's town hall was a replacment for the debate the president quit). But they chose what they chose. Of course, this is the same channel that gave him 14 seasons of a reality tv show and a 24/7 loop on its cable news arm in 2015/16.

The rule, as I understand it, means that if a candidate pays for a half hour of prime time on say, CBS, then CBS has to allow the opponent the opportunity to pay the same rate for a prime time slot. It's not particularly relevant in national elections anymore. But it might apply to some local and statewide races. And it used to be a factor in presidential contests.

I cannot fucking wait for Biden’s town hall to secure higher ratings than Trump’s so we can experience the epic meltdown that will follow.
Bragging rights to Biden over Trump in television ratings
In a competition for attention at their conventions, Democrat Joe Biden has scored a victory over President Donald Trump — but it was close.

My guess is NBC will win the ratings battle but their efforts to help Trump won't work out; he will turn in another bad performance. NBC will then have to deal with the fallout of its disgruntled workers. ABC will lose the ratings game but it will still do well and their advertisers will feel better about being involved with a much less embarrassing spectacle. Biden will, hopefully, play it safe and positive, and will dominate another news cycle into the weekend.
And if I'm wrong, all the better. Then NBC will have an even bigger fiasco all of its own choosing.

The Australian mogul is disgusted by Trump’s handling of COVID-19, remarking that the president is his own worst enemy and telling associates “people are ready for Sleepy Joe.”

Ballot in. Took about 45 minutes from when I first stepped in line until I fed it into the machine. I hate filling those bubbles out, especially since I had my sunglasses on when I got out of the car when I thought I had my real glasses on (which I don't absolutely have to have but it helps), so I ended up squinting at the circle for Biden three inches away from my face to make sure I didn't fuck it up when filling in.

Rudy Giuliani Is My Father. Please, Everyone, Vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
I may not be able to change my father’s mind, but together, we can vote this toxic administration out of office.
I knew his kids hated his guts but goddamn.
Media caught on much quicker this cycle. The short version of the article is that Rudy is a very stupid person.
I hear over on NBC they're asking Trump legitimate questions and he's throwing a temper tantrum.

Biden is doing a good job dodging this court packing question. It is pretty clear he is not going to allow a bunch of fascists to trample on our rights and has every intention of dealing with it appropriately. Outright stating that, however, is very difficult given the standards by which he is judged compared to those fascists.

I want my soul to leave my body rn.
biden talking to the audience during every break and after it ended made me laugh. dude would travel door to door ever household in america to get people to vote for him. His answer about Racial Justice and what he'd do if he lost was also one of the most honest things I've heard from a politician I think.

What did he say?
That if he lost it was because he was a sorry candidate, and maybe the country isn't as racially divided as he and others think. Regardless he also said that if he lost, he would continue to fight for racial justice. He also said that the crime bill was a mistake, that nobody should be in jail for drug use, and that a lot of states used things that were in the crime bill to punish people racially.
I can say with a lot of certainty that the last nominee would never ever admit to themselves that they were bad at anything. The contrast between the events these two had was surreal.

Poll: Americans Think Trump Is a âHorribleâ âDisgustingâ âPutinesqueâ âAssâ
They additionally think he’s a “racist,” “despicable,” “corrupt,” “antichrist.”

I feel the hate raise up in me when Trump tweets, for sure.
