Political Ad Ban For Pubcasters


U.S. ban on political ads on public TV struck down



I think this is a really bad idea. Among the values of the public broadcasting users...getting away from the commercial clutter.

The rulling seems to run counter to the intent of the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967.

So what matters most? Is it the values that bring listeners and viewers and to public media or is it the potential advertising revenues when SUPERPACS start placing ads adjacent to All Things Considered and Frontline?
