...I'm trying to understand what you're meaning. The commercials are handled by the network's traffic department, not by the news people/personalities. I'm betting most times they don't even know what's playing in those breaks; taking the time to arrange the upcoming segments.

Or...are you refering to them using right wing political commercials in the show...which they generally then ridicule. I dunno, I'm from the school of know your adversary and their tactics...

Cheers...
