I just saw this over at Rebecca's Pocket. CBS refused to air an anti-Bush ad during the SuperBowl, while allowing ads from the White House. Does that seem like balanced and equal time for both sides to you?
From MoveOn.com "During this year's Super Bowl, you'll see ads sponsored by beer companies, tobacco companies, and the Bush White House. But you won't see the winning ad in MoveOn.org Voter Fund's Bush in 30 Seconds ad contest. CBS refuses to air it. This is not a partisan issue. It's critical that our media institutions be fair and open to all speakers. CBS is setting a dangerous precedent, and unless we speak up, the pattern may continue. Watch the ad and join the call for CBS to air ads which address issues of public importance today."
What gets me even more, is that the ad is well done. It's visually impactful. There's no slandering or distortion of the truth. Future generations are the ones that are going to be paying off the huge deficit he is running up. I don't know how anyone can argue against that.
*sigh*
