Has anyone else noticed this? Is it just me/my area? Literally every hour a stupid Biden vote for me TV ad, NOT A SINGLE TV ad being aired for Trump. I haven’t seen 1 single TV ad for him at all... isn’t that illegal? Election meddling? Equal airtime for all candidates not a thing anymore?

Candidates don't always spend/buy ads/airtime equally across all states. They tend to spend more in the battleground states or states they may want to try and flip. So not seeing ads for a candidate in certain regions/states isn't surprising. Now go to Ohio, Florida.. places like that. I'd imagine you're getting slammed by both parties.

Simple. The Trump campaign has far less cash then Biden's. No money = no add buys. Plus, Wall Street is jumping ship, as they are viewing a Biden win as positive. Though, most on this forum would disagree, calling my last statement "fake news, look at the 2016 polls that were wrong, etc."

Trump was outspent significantly in the last election as well. But he sure as hell knows how to tweet and get free press.
And I really don't think Wall Street cares who wins, ever. They always find a way to win.
makes sense. I live in a mostly Democrat area - guess they don’t see any use in buying ad time in a decided state.

Disaster capitalism always benefits Wall Street. If the dems control house, senate,and WH, then plenty of stimulus coming.
Of the $1.1 billon his campaign and the party raised from the beginning of 2019 through July, more than $800 million has already been spent. Now some people inside the campaign are forecasting what was once unthinkable: a cash crunch with less than 60 days until the election, according to Republican officials briefed on the matter.
Brad Parscale, the former campaign manager, liked to call Mr. Trump’s re-election war machine an “unstoppable juggernaut.” But interviews with more than a dozen current and former campaign aides and Trump allies, and a review of thousands of items in federal campaign filings, show that the president’s campaign and the R.N.C. developed some profligate habits as they burned through hundreds of millions of dollars. Since Bill Stepien replaced Mr. Parscale in July, the campaign has imposed a series of belt-tightening measures that have reshaped initiatives, including hiring practices, travel and the advertising budget.
Under Mr. Parscale, more than $350 million — almost half of the $800 million spent — went to fund-raising operations, as no expense was spared in finding new donors online. The campaign assembled a big and well-paid staff and housed the team at a cavernous, well-appointed office in the Virginia suburbs; outsize legal bills were treated as campaign costs; and more than $100 million was spent on a television advertising blitz before the party convention, the point when most of the electorate historically begins to pay close attention to the race.

Haven't seen any TV ads for either, but then I don't watch TV. Hope they aren't buying ads for my sake. I don't vote either : )

Here's a Trump advertisement if you need one, I think it fits pretty well.

Flush With Cash, Biden Eclipses Trump in War for the Airwaves (Published 2020)
Joe Biden is vastly outspending President Trump in TV advertising, maintaining a nearly 2-to-1 advantage on the airwaves.
President Trump is being vastly outspent by Joseph R. Biden Jr. in television advertising in the general election battleground states and elsewhere, with the former vice president focusing overwhelmingly on the coronavirus as millions of Americans across the country begin casting early votes.
Mr. Biden has maintained a nearly 2-to-1 advantage on the airwaves for months. His dominance is most pronounced in three critical swing states — Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — where he spent about $53 million to Mr. Trump’s $17 million over the past month largely on ads assailing the president’s handling of the virus as well as the economy and taxes, according to data from Advertising Analytics, an ad tracking firm.
Biden outspent Trump $153 million to $57 million on ads in a single month
First Read is your briefing from "Meet the Press" and the NBC Political Unit on the day's most important political stories and why they matter.
www.nbcnews.com
In the month of September alone, the Biden campaign spent $153 million on TV and radio ads, while the Trump campaign spent $57 million, according to ad-spending data from Advertising Analytics.
That’s nearly a 3-to-1 spending advantage.
^^ Not counting all the free negative ads against Trump on MSM disguised as news. I guess Fox is doing the same with Biden now there are laptops to read, (former) partners to interview and free porn to show. Have to wonder who's making the most out of all this. Definitely not the People.
I knew the Intercept was far left, but I rarely had reason to doubt their integrity. One more gone to the snakes, I guess.
The Intercept co-founder Glenn Greenwald resigned from the outlet on Thursday, after 'editors censored an article I wrote this week, refusing to publish it unless I remove all sections critical of Joe Biden, the candidate vehemently supported by all Intercept editors involved in this effort at suppression.'

I'm just a Florida boy, and damn, those two are everywhere down here. If you got it, you got it. A little extra facetime isn't going to help. The Election has already been decided.
Hard to feel bad for him considering he helped create the monster that censors opposing views. He’s far left, has agreed with censorship up until the point it affected his own reporting and career. How ironic.
