Hulu under fire for refusing to run ads on climate change, abortion and gun control
Streaming platform Hulu has come under fire from subscribers for rejecting political ads on abortion, gun control, and climate crisis from Democratic organisations. It was reported on Monday that a group of Democratic campaign organisations on 15 July had tried to buy political ads on Hulu, but the Disney-backed platform rejected them. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and Democratic Governors Association tried to purchase joint ads on abortion and guns with Hulu on July 15, “along with identical placements on a Disney-affiliated ABC affiliate in Philadelphia and the company’s cable sports channel ESPN”, the Post reported.
