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?

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

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