-—If the nitwits at the networks decide not to run Trump’s ads——

I think the ads are placed at the local broadcast stations.

The ads have already apppeared for free on Fox news segmants

For decades, the media refused to run NRA ads. They still do. Lots of NRA ads on the Internets. On the legacy media...nada.

I learned this at an NRA annual meeting. I talked to one of those near the top, just below the exectutive VP..

I’d have to dig up note or look at an NRA org chart from the time to remember.

But I asked him: Why doesn’t the NRA run ads, especially when the issues are coming to a vote and are close.

He said, “They media will not allow us to buy ads.”

This was about 1995, if I recall. It explained much.
