Why are shadowy RW orgs running ads on M$NBC?

Seems like worse than a waste of money; it just riles us up even more!

2. M$NBC will take money from any source, and the shadowy RW orgs will nibble away at the

M$NBC herd for any potential converts.

But I don't think this herd has any taste for the crap that deplorables eat.

10. I haven't seen any here at all. I subscribe to a service in Canada that has all of the major news

internet based. ... but apparently the OP has on cable.

4. Going negative early

Negative politicking helps depress turnout.

5. I am far more worried about the RW ads regarding healthcare

being run on the fox propaganda network.

7. What makes you think they are?

Some of the advertising slots on cable channels are left open for your local cable company to sell advertising time.

I'm not seeing RW ads on MSNBC in my local market.

What are you using to distinguish between national ad time sold by MSNBC, and local ad time sold by your cable company? Be specific what method you are using to figure out whether MSNBC or your cable company sold the time.

9. I haven't checked in with Nielsen or the Ad Council or whoever.

And I'm not trying to blame M$NBC - I assume they or the satellite company or whoever, would always take that money.

My point is about the RW orgs themselves - whether directly or indirectly, they are targeting people who will reject the message and become even more infuriated at the RW agenda. Seems stupid to me.
