[Cush]

1. kick

[nostamj]

2. CBS News is doing a story about CBS/Viacom!

[fob]

3. Sooooo, they won't accept money to show it to 130 million plus

viewerw, but they will show it for free to (?)10(?) million?

14. at least moveon.org got some publicity out of this

For people like me who didn't catch the story on tv, it's here:

4. hate to say i told you so

but, i told you so

the ad becomes a story and EVERYBODY sees it over and over and over and over

and it don't cost MoveOn dime one!

sweet?

p.s. i did NOT expect it to be CBS that had to tell the story.

extra sweet!

6. Yes, and for those who have been painting CBS news in the same

broad strokes as CBS entertainment, despite the repeated Rather digs at the Bush admin over the past months.... I hope this reassures you.

5. They said that it's okay to show

the White House's ad because no one else is advocating drug abuse. So the alternative to their insane war on drugs is advocacy of drug abuse, huh?

7. quick! flash artists!!

we need an 30 second ad in favor of child labor and passing massive debt on to future generations!

the superbowl is SUNDAY. hurry.

for the sarcasm impaired, i'm KIDDING

[plurality]

11. actually, not a bad idea

if you've seen Chris Rock's "Head of State" you'll know what I'm talking about.

In it they have an ad with a KKK guy saying, "I hate (bigoted terms for Jews, gay, blacks, hispanics, etc) and that's why I'm voting for (whatever the Republican guys name was)"

I think something like that could be very effective, why hasn't anyone done an ad like that yet?

[nostamj]

12. haven't seen that movie

but, would LOVE to see the ad!

9. They even advertised the ad on cbsnews.com:

Here is the link where you can find the ad; scroll to the video of "Bush in 30 seconds".

I feel better about watching Dan Rather on the evening news, now. I had been boycotting them.

10. Thanks for the air time CBS! lol!

Well, now they can say they showed the ad, without breaking their own "rules". Now it's NEWS!

15. First time I saw the ad

So, thanks for the heads up.

Glad to see them interview the spokesman from moveon.org

Also, they ran a good story about the predictable profit-making now coming out of the Medicare Bill.

Thanks for the heads up!
