It appears to be the Republicans' latest and greatest way around all advertising costs and Campaign Finance Laws. They have gotten just about every major newscast around the country to air their ads claiming them to be a news story. Look at Bush's first ads. They got hundreds of free plays on MSNBC alone, let alone what I could imagine Fox did. CNN was also guilty of this.
It seems to be the new way to go. Instead of paying for too much ad time you dish it off to the news to do the dirty work, and like the sheep that they are, they do it knowing full well that there is a high chance their station or network owner is a Republican who wants these aired and who wants his candidate spun a certain way.
If we want to discuss media conspiracy in this campaign, here's the opening of a lifetime.
