Where's Big Media? Pretty Nice DNC Ad Attacks John McCain On Oil Industry Contributions
Here is a new ad by the DNC attacking John McCain. The key point, however, is whether Big Media pays any attention to the ad. Remember that even when McCain runs a blatantly false ad, the ad gets repeated free play and repetition on Big Media. In comparison, lets see how much we see this ad played on Big Media. Has anyone see this ad played on any of the major networks?

1. and the people chanted, 4 more years, 4 more years over and over again...
04 was just like yesterday.

Good ad.

(in my indoor whisper voice) - I just wish they'd play more of these on the boob tube for that extra kick.

2. Of Course, Big Media Does Not Subsidize The Democrats, Just The GOP
If this was a GOP ad, you would have seen it on Fox News 50 times today.

3. Think of it as a 10 BILLION Dollar Campaign Contribution to the Repiggies
Airtime costs Democrats a million dollars a minute.
Repigges get hours and hours of it free, every day.

Obama would have to raise 10 billion dollars to match that.

4. Just a Web ad? Meanwhile the RNC has ads attacking Obama on TV
Thats why they aren't talking about it. Its only a web ad. It needs to be on TV to get attention and reach the idiot voting block

5. Ahem, You Know That McCain's Web Ads Get Hours of Free Playtime . . .
And Obama has to pay for his ads, Also, the ads tend to be played in competitive states instead of nationally. I have yet to see a single John McCain ad on TV as an ad. Instead, I just get all the John McCain ads via network news.

Your post just confirms my point.
