The decision comes only two days after the company denied ads created by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the Democratic Governors Association. The denial had sparked online outrage among Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>The ads that prompted internet outcry depict congressional Republicans and former president Donald Trump as unfeeling about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MEAADDt95T0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gun violence<\/a> toward children and accuses them of a &#8220;coordinated Republican attack&#8221; on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3VGu-XGX5Hw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">abortion<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This is the latest political controversy in which Disney has caved to Democratic pressure. Last March, Disney <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/beastmode-desantis-dunks-on-disney\/\">opposed<\/a> Governor Ron DeSantis&#8217;s (R., Fla.) Florida Parental Rights in Education bill after the Democrats characterized it as the &#8220;Don&#8217;t Say Gay Bill.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hulu\u2019s censorship of the truth is outrageous, offensive, and another step down a dangerous path for our country,&#8221; the directors of three Democratic committees responsible for the ads said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2022\/07\/25\/disney-hulu-democrats-ads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a> to the <em>Washington Post<\/em>. &#8220;Voters have the right to know the facts about MAGA Republicans\u2019 agenda on issues like abortion\u2014and Hulu is doing a huge disservice to the American people by blocking voters from learning the truth about the GOP record or denying these issues from even being discussed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hulu\u2019s policy used to allow candidate ads but not issue ads. Political ads were <a href=\"https:\/\/hulu.disneyadsales.com\/adrestrictions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">permitted<\/a> on a case-by-case basis. Now, Hulu will allow a large variety of political ads and reserves the right to request edits.<\/p>\n<p>Disney said the change is motivated by the desire for their streaming platforms to be consistent in advertising rules, with the exception of Disney+, which will offer a plan with &#8220;family-friendly&#8221; ads later this year. ESPN+, another of Disney\u2019s subscription-streaming services, already allows political ads.<\/p>\n<p>Disney has come under fire recently for <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/03\/30\/disney-producer-cops-to-adding-queerness-to-animated-shows\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">promoting<\/a> a &#8220;not-at-all-secret gay agenda&#8221; in its children\u2019s programming and parks and expressing <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/media\/watch-the-media-reframe-floridas-parental-rights-in-education-bill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">opposition<\/a> for Florida\u2019s Parental Rights in Education bill.<\/p>\n<p>Netflix, Hulu\u2019s chief competitor in streaming, has suffered major subscriber and market blows following the <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/elections\/biden-megadonor-promoted-at-netflix-amid-cuties-uproar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">release<\/a> of <em>Cuties<\/em>, a film sexualizing young girls, and other political messaging that has failed to strike a chord among consumers.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/media\/hulu-denied-democratic-political-ads-from-airing-two-days-later-it-changed-its-mind\/\">Hulu Denied Democratic Political Ads From Airing.
