Answer:

The answer is the equal-time rule.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule specifies that all forms of mass media must provide the same opportunities for political candidates. This means if a candidate pays a certain price to appear on a TV channel for a specific time, other candidates have the right to appear for the same time and pay the same price.

This rule does not apply to talk shows or news programmes.
