Did CNN Commentators Give Cindy's Ad As Much Free Time as The Swift Boat? |
|
I know Cindy's ad is running on CNN, but those are paid spots. But remember the swift boat ad? CNN commentators ran it over and over and over while discussing it, essentially giving it lot's of free air time and that was during an election. Did they do the same w/ Cindy's ad?

1. Except for the hundred's of times the news ran the swift liar ad, |
|
I never once saw it run on television. I've seen the Cindy ad once in a snip-it on CNN

They hardly bought any time and relied on the free air time given to it by CNN and others.

2. Lets hope they actually do learn their lesson..... |
|
If they don't, it will prove CNN is nothing more than a corporate media shill and should not be watched period. Swift Boat ads while paid for were open lies, and most of them knew it. Each advertisement that rings the truth should get as much if not more full advertising than the lies. Otherwise, there is no reason to watch their station at all.

3. I have seen it a number of times, but it was PAID ad |
|
Swiftboat ad was run as news, ad nauseum...so your answer is "NO" they have not run it as much.
