Viral, yes. And perhaps land in front of a judge? Last I heard political speech is a particularly tricky category for any entity to so blatantly suppress. These outlets may have just stepped into a very expensive patch of legal mire. After all, if a baker must prepare a cake which contains statements anathema to his moral beliefs by what right does an FCC licensed broadcast utility refuse a political ad?

The fact that they are a business like those bakers doesn't give them the right to censor a political ad.
