  "The Shadow of Incipient Censorship": The Creation of the Television Code of 1952
It is the responsibility of television to bear constantly in mind that the audience is primarily a home audience, and consequently that television’s relationship to the viewers is that between guest and host.
The American businesses which utilize television for conveying their advertising messages to the home by pictures with sound, seen free-of-charge on the home screen, are reminded that their responsibilities are not limited to the sale of goods and the creation of a favorable attitude toward the sponsor by the presentation of entertainment.
Television, and all who participate in it are jointly accountable to the American public for respect for the special needs of children, for community responsibility, for the advancement of education and culture, for the acceptability of the program materials chosen, for decency and decorum in production, and for propriety in advertising.

Since the first televised presidential campaign commercial was broadcast in 1952, the explosive growth and influence of television has profoundly altered the basics of campaign strategy.
Because television is an intimate medium that naturally favors personality over issues, and style over substance, the prominence of televised campaign commercials has, for better or worse, fundamentally changed the way the American public learns about their candidates, and the strategies that campaigns employ to reach their voters.
Today, in an increasingly fast-paced television world where cable TV has greatly expanded our viewing choices—and the invention of the remote control has made it even easier to jump from channel to channel—commercials have shrunk to 30 and even 15 seconds in length.

The 1952 election was one that the Republicans felt strongly about winning, and with Eisenhower as their candidate it would be possible.
