TV Stations Must Now Post Online Political Ad Contracts

An important new development in support of campaign transparency will now provide the media, watchdogs and ordinary Americans with a wider view into which groups are behind the attack ads appearing on television stations across the country.

As of July 1, every broadcast TV station in the U.S. must post copies of contracts for commercial time purchased to air campaign spots, both positive and negative ones.

I talked to someone the other day who said they were running ads as if the election's in a month. Some anti-McConnell, but a lot of ones dissing Grimes.
