High Court upholds longer political commercials
The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, allowed Carter Mondale to buy 30 minutes of prime time for a paid political ad. CBS had refused more than five minutes, citing equal time rules. The ruling could force networks to air multiple half hour political slots for numerous presidential hopefuls and affect news coverage.
