During this year's Super Bowl, you'll see ads sponsored by beer companies, tobacco companies, and the Bush White House. But you won't see the winning ad in MoveOn.org Voter Fund's Bush in 30 Seconds ad contest. CBS refuses to air it.
To check out the ad and ask CBS to air ads like this one, go to:

If you're interested in signing a petition urging CBS to reconsider, you can go here:

I'm sure most of you have seen the "Child's Pay" ad already, go to bushin30seconds.org to see the ad in question if you haven't.
I'm not entirely sure what to make of this. When I first read it I thought I agreed with MoveOn that there was some political bias, but then spoke to someone else who said that the network execs don't allow issue ads in the Super Bowl, period. However, the "anti-drug" commercials from the Office of Drug Policy are allowed to run, so perhaps the networks only allow issue ads when they can use them to curry favor with the Administration.
Sign the petition if you want to, but either way I could use some enlightenment on how you feel about CBS's decision and why.
