| Feb 14, 2017 at 13:09 | comment | added | David Richerby | @CGCampbell I'm not sure I see your point. The answer says that there are laws governing political campaign ads and that this isn't a campaign ad so it's not covered by those laws so, implicitly, stations can do whatever they want. | |
| Feb 13, 2017 at 19:17 | comment | added | JonK | @C8H10N4O2 Yes cable networks are included. The law defines "(1) the term “broadcasting station” includes a community antenna television system;" Community antenna television is the technical term for cable. | |

This is not a campaign ad, it's a political dig, essentially an editorial camouflaged as a commercial. If Fox doesn't want to accept the money for the paid advertisement, it's their prerogative. | |
