FCC chipping away at Citizens United?

The fallout from the last year's Citizens United case continues to reverberate. From The Hill:

Ahead of 2012's election year, a federal regulatory agency is proposing a rule that could reveal more information about the groups that bankroll political ads.

The Federal Communications Commission voted Thursday to seek public comments on rules that would require television broadcasters to put their files online, including information about political spots.

Watchdog groups hope the rules will shed light on the big money behind political ad campaigns by making the data more accessible.
Hmm...it seems that the FCC wants to chip away at Citizens United.
