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.
Meanwhile, the White House and Congressional Republicans are on the verge of signing into law a deal which Senator John McCain (R-AZ) says is custom-tailored for CBS and Fox, allowing the two networks to grow much bigger. CBS lobbied hard for this rule change; MoveOn.org members across the country lobbied against it; and now the MoveOn.org ad has been rejected while the White House ad will be played. It looks an awful lot like CBS is playing politics with the right to free speech.
Of course, this is bigger than just the MoveOn.org Voter Fund. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) submitted an ad that was also rejected. We need to let CBS know that this practice of arbitrarily turning down ads that may be "controversial" ? especially if they're controversial simply because they take on the President ? just isn't right.

The SuperBowl is a worldwide event, not an event to push US political views. CBS made a decision not to push their usual liberal agenda on the world. I am currently in the Caribbean and the natives are going wild at all the local parking lots of the sports books, the other FlashCash members throughout Europe are also bombarded with the SuperBowl right now. To deem this an equal opportunity for the left wing or right wing dipshits to push their vile fear tactics upon the world is insanity.
Enjoy the game.
