WTF! CNN ?

I just saw a SWBVT AD on CNN.

The one where they say John Kerry betrayed vets by speaking out.

1. They have been playing them constantly on CNN and MSNBC
the last few days. (probably FAUX also but I haven't gone there).

It looks like the ads are national.

At first, I thought someone was on "Larry King" being interviewed about it. But no, they were just running it. Didn't CNN just refuse to run an ad that was anti-Bush? What assholes.

4. An ad by the log cabin republicans because it showed a
sign by Fred Phelps saying "faggot" or something.

10. That's right. It was a Log Cabin
Republicans ad. The final scene in the ad showed that asshole, Phelps, holding up a sign that says, "God hates fags".

5. Call your Cable Provider - this ad offends your "Family Values"
This ad talks about rape, mutiliation and torture. My 2 year old was in the room when it came on, and there is no parental advisory. This offends my family values. Take the ad off.

6. watch MSRNC
it's on every 15 minutes... You have to wonder if GE is in collusion to give them the ad time that often. I assume there are other interested advertisers where it wouldn't be possible to block buy 33% of their commercial air time.

8. I have FOX deleted as one of my channels. MSNBC ignore too.
FOX and MSNBC are total pieces of crap. I knew CNN is bad but now that have gone over the line for me. No more cable news for me, no more corporate news in general.
