The media is giving free TV air time to Bush's ads
Edited on Thu Mar-18-04 07:45 AM by ChavezSpeakstheTruth
By turning Bush's ads into news stories they can be run over and ove again withour Bush paying for it. It's evil!

Hell - CNN headline news was running Bush's first ad every half hour NATIONWIDE!!!!

1. Par for the times. Cable is big business and the money is in Bush's pocket
Why does any one think TV will be fair? Most of the money will go to TV and the Dem want to stop them from buying more stations, well the people seem to want that but it is moved by the Dem. One thing to think about, even with all the money, 2 to 1 in 2000 Gore got more votes, so it is not always more money and ads that win.

2. I noticed that on CNN yesterday.
When you think about it, all the bush* regime has to do is pay to have the ads done. They will be run for free on all the network and cable news shows as news stories and that part doesn't cost them a dime!

3. To be fair, they aired Kerry's ads, too.
But, I agree, Bush's ads are getting far more airtime than Kerry's.

They've got the money. They've got the media. They've got incumbency and a majority in Congress and the Supreme Court. It will be a tough, uphill battle. But, never forget, we have the truth.
