Curtis Sliwa is the republican candidate for NYC mayor. Why is he allowed

to widely and often broadcast on WABC while he is an active candidate?

When both Anthony Weiner and Frank Marano ran for NYC council seats, they gave up their jobs at WABC during their candidacies.

I thought that media availability was limited to candidates.

My only answer: he’s a republican. They have no respect for ethical norms whatsoever and know they can get away with their behavior because they won’t face any reprisals. They live under a different set of rules.

Trump is the poster boy for this, but the same holds true for all of them. What Democrat would be able to bilk Americans of millions of dollars to pay for his trips and stays at their properties?

My question still stands. Why Curtis Sliwa?

That's more money than a show broadcast in the NYC region.
