The equal time rule is an anachronism from the days when there were only three networks and the airwaves were scarce. It also hearkens back to when "news" on television meant Walter Cronkite. Of course content on The View is protected by the First Amendment.

You can get away with anachronistic costuming very easily if the design is good.

“More interesting than a closer adherence to a historical reference” can be a tough bar to clear, because the world is full of good designs, but people do it all the time.
