By now I am sure many of you have seen or heard about the Ayers Ad funded by the American Issues Project.
Interestingly Fox News has decided not to run the ad (despite "accidentally" airing it. This decision may have been related to the concern that the ad may violate election law.
However, that doesn't stop CNN.
I was at the gym on the treadmill this morning - I live in Pittsburgh - and was watching one of the TVs which was tuned to CNN. They were doing the usual "will Hillary's supports ruin the convention" stuff, so I wasn't paying too much attention. Then I looked up and noticed the Ayers ad was playing. At first I thought, great - more free publicity for this POS. But as I watched I realized that it was playing in entirety and was not part of the morning report. It was actually a paid ad, stuck between ads for breakfast cereal, etc.
I really hope CNN just violated election laws by airing this (ad aired at 6:15 am, 8/25/08)
