Made at the time of the 1988 presidential election, this piece is about media power and market censorship. It is based on a true story about the adventures of the artist buying network time for a TV spot – an ad for counter-bicentennial activities in l976, confronting the system of invisible, corporate censorship which runs broadcast television. 30 Second Spot Reconsidered puts a lie to the idea that only ’free’ markets regulate freedom of expression in the USA.
