No they're not!

There is an obligation on the part of certain broadcasters to 
give "equal time" to opposing politicians when certain politicians, 
such as the president, gives an address.

Show me a law where it says that the public airwaves are obligated 
to present both side of a story.  Such a law would, indeed, be a 
violation of the first amendment.
