And this

So apparently if you’re a candidate for public office and you put together a broadcast ad with the proper disclosures, stations are obligated to run it for cheap, no matter what it is?

Like if you’re just state and local they can segment you off by office but have to treat each candidate the same, but if you’re federal they’re obligated to accomodate you

Like this woman who just ran for the fake DC Congress seat so she could make ads that were like

BLOODY FETUS

and the stations were obligated to run them. Randall Terry, the Operation Rescue guy is running for the Dem presidential nomination in 2012 so he can force a BLOODY FETUS ad into the Super Bowl.

The stations can’t edit or censor or hold your ad until late night. And also political ads are immune to FCC indecency regulations. It’s only legal obscenity and actual felonies that they can screen for.

If you run for House of Representatives, you can make TV stations sell you a 7 minute block in the middle of prime time to say “fuck” over and over
