we were told that the station could not change or refuse to air political ads. No matter what kind of claim or absolute lie, the spot had to run like the way it was delivered.
But that was then. It seems a lot of the business has become unrecognizable from when I was in it. I was mutating even as I was still working in it. Probably one of the reasons I took early retirement and bailed out.
