Is the MoveOn.org ad going to be allowed to play ANYWHERE?

I was and am as upset as anyone about CBS' craven refusal to air the MoveOn ad during the Super Bowl.

Somebody mentioned to me that it was going to play after the State of the Empire address.

Is this true? if so, it does lessen the sting of CBS showing their Corporate TV Pravda colors.

Anybody heard about this? Will Imperial Pravda allow the MoveOn.org ad to play ANYWHERE?

5. Yes, it's asking too much, sorry

The United States as we know it has been taken over by a band of thugs. You may need to sacrifice a little of your football-watching comfort if the country is to be taken back. I guess the point is moot now, since it won't be shown, but the terrible things this administration has done need to permeate Americans' consciousness right where they live, and for many of them, the Super Bowl fits the bill.

6. Of course they play political ads during the Super bowl.

What about all the "if you do drugs, you are helping the terrorist" ads for starters.

9. commercial speech is political speech

so every ad, who's underlying message is "consume", is political.

7. Didn't * make a speech prior to the Superbowl

Edited on Fri Jan-16-04 12:48 PM by bushh8ter

last year (or was it 2002?). I vaguely remember yelling at the TV screen before turning it off. Anybody else remember this?

I don't think I ever saw any other president prior to idiot getting free press like that.

I will have to un-mute my TV once shrub is finished feeding us his tripe.

10. I'm sure it will be played and replayed by Hannity and Fox and ???

They won't be able to get enough of it. They will play it with the intention of denigrating it but truth has a way of seeping out. I say the more air time the better. Also Moveon has the money to place it strategically and knowing how whorish the networks are it will play.
