Hulu Reverses Political Ad Policy After Backlash
The streaming platform Hulu will now accept advertisements on political candidates and issues following backlash from Democratic campaign organizations over it refusing to run ads on midterm election issues.
A national Democratic Party official said on Monday that Hulu did not give Democratic campaign groups a clear reason for not running ads on abortion and gun safety that they submitted last week.
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and Democratic Governors Association (DGA) submitted the ads to a variety of distributors, including Disney-owned ESPN and a Disney-owned ABC affiliate in Philadelphia, but Hulu was the only one that did not broadcast them.
