Imagine a TV news network with audience of 1 billion people which will give free airtime to one political party only, especially during the election cycle. How big of an advantage this is and how much is this kind of reach worth? Aren't there campaign laws about this kind of thing?

Are you saying this speculatively or because you understand that your hypothetical is already the functional end of our media landscape?

What? Are you proposing we ban Fox News? :)

First, election cycle is over; second, they are not banning one political party.
