The ad isn't interesting at all......it is pure horseshit.

Oh....and this is a repost but that is OK by me.

Good, I don't want to see that crap. CBS can do whatever the hell it's wants to do - it's their network. Until you own it, stop bitching.

Sure, who'd want their mindless viewing pleasure disturbed by real economic questions?

Kinda. It's gotten worse since FDR's socialistic programs.

It's their network... they can do what they want. Why is this such a hard concept for idiots to understand?

When the ad reflects real economic questions instead of political horsesh!t, I'll let you know.

Sure, they can do whatever they want, but if MoveOn.org takes the initiative, they can file suit against CBS for infringing on their first amendment right. The commercial isn't combative or malicious, nor does it contain "fighting words." So by all respects, it should be covered under first Amendment rights. If MoveOn.org is willing to pay the ungodly amount for the ad time, CBS should let them air the commercial as outlined in their ad contract.

CBS not letting someone air a perfectly sane, calm and non-obscene commercial is discriminatory. It shouldn't happen, but unless someone moves forward with it quickly and gets a judge to issue a writ of mandamus, the commercial won't be shown.
