The airways have been treated differently since their inception. We already regulate what can be said and who can say what on the airwaves. That speech has already been violated. Extending the govt reach to advertising before an election is no biggie.
If we were going to get all upset about the ad bans we should have spoken up when the feds banned foul language, nudity, violence as well as tobacco and alcholol advertising.
All this ruling does is say that political advertising doesn't have more rights to free speech onthe air waves than a tobacco advertiser.
Oh oh. You're suppose to be in a state of panic. Like the Salem witch trials. Not panicing means you're really a witch.
