3. that ad was made specifically for the cableshows to air for free
they've hardly bought any airtime for it at all.

Thanks for the boost, MSNBC!

4. They're letting the "news" drum the message into the people.
They get airtime for free on every network and all over the net.

6. Even Andrea Mitchell tore that to shreds
Edited on Mon Jul-28-08 05:08 PM by malaise
She said they (the press) weren't allowed to go with him when he visited the injured troops in Iraq and that it was the army who filmed him playing basketball with them.

When Andrea Mitchell says it's a bad ad, it's really bad.

9. I saw it. They managed to haze out the troops i the background
shooting hoops with Obama. Next I suppose they'll photoshop Barack planting a big wet kiss on Ahmadinejad's ass.

12. About a hundred times !!
And they are seldom giving it in a straight way. All of them are aware of the false claims in the ad but they continue to put the McCain spin on it..
