Two candidates for Los Angeles County Sheriff are complaining that conservative talk radio station KFI is violating FCC rules by giving incumbent Alex Villanueva his own show every Sunday night.
Vera and Rodriguez also say the valuable airtime amounts to an in-kind political contribution to the sheriff, in violation of election rules.
“KFI is complying with all election rules and regulations, and of course, equal time is available upon request to all candidates for this seat,” Program Director Robin Bertolucci said in a statement.FCC rules require broadcast stations to give an equal opportunity to political candidates. Altogether VillanuevaKFI attracts a more conservative audience that may be very helpful to the sheriff.
“The powerful, the elite, the ones that control all of the campaign contributions, for example, they are going to keep ramming these unqualified individuals down our throats,” he said recently.Bertolucci said in her statement that Villanueva was invited to host a show “to discuss crime and the issues that impact the residents of Southern California.”Frank Stoltze covers a new movement for criminal justice reform at a time when not everybody shares the same vision.
