Comments

  1. Elias: so the broadcasters are finally being held accountable, guess that's one way to get 'em talking about rates
  2. Emmatran: Not sure this is going to help campaign finance reform like they promise. When you start lowering ad prices, it can just make things more manipulative
  3. Cleo: steep discounts for ads? isn't that just a gift for deep-pocketed consultants
  4. Iris: can't believe they're only mandating discounts now when we've been doing this for years in our local station sales
  5. Bruno: Honestly can't imagine how this affects local news reporting, anyone know if stations are going to start scrambling for ad revenue from other areas too?
  6. Bruno: this has nothing to do with free markets or campaign finance reform as promised
  7. Onyx Rune: unreal how the Supremes keep trying to disrupt media balance – gonna be interesting to see who gets the short end of this stick
  8. Emma: I'm still trying to wrap my head around what this means for actual campaign spending – isn't it just going to be a way for parties with deeper pockets to flood the airwaves
