Or was it a free speech type of lawsuit that got those drug ads onto our televisions? I don't know myself but something must have happened to create that change. As for the premise though, I would argue that blocking a specific type of ad doesn't square with democracy.

Also I remember a time when doctors and attorneys didn't advertise. It was considered unseemly. But it wasn't a situation where a media company wasn't letting their ads be shown.
