How is Obama expecting to work the Free Television and Radio advertising bill if it passes?
Paula M asked:
I am sure that it would pass with flying colors because it is not like Congress would vote against it because they would be saving money also. I am employed at a radio station and I am just wondering if anyone can explain how he plans on having that work? Do we just turn over all of our time to any politician that wants to run advertising? What if there is no room for them to run? What about News paper and online? Why just Tv and Radio?? I just do not understand what he can be thinking!!
It is under : Barack Obama on Government Reform
Public campaign financing with free television & radio time. (Aug 2007)

Just because he can do it, didn’t you realize that you in radio and TV actually work for the government, it’s the american air waves.
The Bill of Rights came a little too early for you to be included under the freedom of the press angle.
He doesn’t really care. He and Hill are blowing their bankroll on the primary, so they won’t have any $$ left for the general election. Forcing private enterprise to pay for THEIR ads is the only way either of them will be able to compete.
Other countries actually have laws that force tv stations to give time to Political ads or broadcasts. Seems strange I know, but it has been working in other countries for years.
It does seem unfair to the owners of these media outlets as they would be losing income.
