The NYT Oscars ad. Does it work?

[LAS14]

I didn't think it was working until the "Truth is hard" ending. I'm not sure everyone will stick with it till that point. What do you think?

1. i don't like it.

nyt saying "truth is hard" seems defensive and may reinforce donnie's attacks that they might get it wrong a lot.

2. preaching to the choir

3. I like it...how about supporting a newspaper that is trying to expose the truth

about Donald Trump...I swear some are never happy.

6. That's where I am. I like the ad and feel we need to support hard journalism like the Times

And you are correct - some people will never be happy.

4. For the paper that published Judith Miller's pieces promoting for the Iraq War it rings true.

5. Kind of a mess

The talking in the background was a distraction. Let's put it this way, I watched the entire oscars from beginning to end and don't recall that commercial at all. Not a good sign.
