Honestly the Biden campaign should just run ads of him saying these things, followed by his mugshot and his 34 convictions. The ads write themselves.

They legally are require to, otherwise they can’t accept ANY political ads. Not saying they wouldn’t reject them, they’d just be criminals for doing so.

And you know down ballot republicans need to advertise on Fox News still.

I think this only applies to over the air broadcast stations, and is only relevant to official sources. They can reject anything from a PAC or independent source., or edit the content at their discretion.

There are some rules that pertain to political advertising as laid out by the FEC, which involve content that extends to cable or online news media, but not the equitable acceptance stuff.
