The Federal Communications Commission makes it illegal to block or alter ads, so regardless of how disturbing and upsetting Terry’s ads are, to the general public, there’s nothing these stations can do about it.

The FCC’s rules states that “Broadcast stations are prohibited from censoring or rejecting political ads that are paid for and sponsored by legally qualified candidates. This no-censorship provision does not apply to political ads that are sponsored by non-candidate third parties”
