Actually, I just looked it up from your guess because I wondered if it was stated. It seems to mean “authentic” under the law. Meaning, they can’t make up news reports to report on trump or they have to give equal amounts to Biden.

Yeah, but what’s “authentic”? If you make up a news story about a really really good campaign stop, is it just a bona fide news story or is it an advertisement? News about his history of financial or humanitarian success?
True, it will probably end up with the results you mentioned, but it does seem to have some teeth in law. I’m sure there’s precedence that they’re citing but it’s probably too expensive and who wants to go onto fox, oan or rt anyway.
