Practice question
During the election period, a television outlet gives one candidate a seventy-percent political-advertising discount but refuses that discount to another candidate for the same position, solely because it prefers the first candidate. It argues that a discount above fifty percent is outside every equality condition. What does RA 11207 provide?
- Higher discounts are always forbidden.
- Higher discounts are permitted, but the discount given one candidate must also be given to other candidates for the same position.
- The outlet may impose any partisan difference above the minimum.
- Only the favored candidate's consent matters.
- The original thirty-percent television figure remains controlling.
