The MSM is financing McCain's campaign by continuously playing his ads....

[Roxy66]

It seems border-line illegal....they are doing his job for him. McCain just pumps out ad after ad to the MSM and they play it non-stop on every network. I can understand snippets or paraphrasing the ads, but they play the entire ad and then validates them for McCain. He should have to pay for the entire ad being played. I would love to see a study showing how much air-time Obama gets with ads compared to McCain and how much money he has avoided paying by these media outlets giving him free airtime......grrrr!!

1. I am glad someone is pointing this out.

The more outrageous the lie is in McCain's ads, the more time the MSM gives to the ad. I wonder if anything can be done about it legislatively - my guess is not, because of freedom of the press issues.

2. I hope a fiercely independent journalist is investigating this.

I'd sure love to know what Joe Scarborough's bank account looks like.
I'm sure there are plenty of well disguised deposits... that a REAL reporter
could get to bottom of. Where have all the brave writers gone?

The media's abuse of the public trust this week has been sickening.
They have flaunted lies and smears and innuendo in the face of the truth.
To me, they are nothing but dirty war profiteers stuffing their pockets with
repuked blood money... and they should meet appropriate justice.

3. So what else is new? Nothing anyone can do about it-McCain's republican ALL MSM is republican owed.

It will continue....just as it did with Clinton, Gore, Kerry and now Obama.

What did you expect from republican owned media corporations ABC, Fox, CNN, CBS & NBC (Disney, Murdoch, Time-Warner, Viacom & General Electric all huge contributors to the republican party)...did you expect fairness....That's been long gone, forever!

4. Do you mean that they are

showing the ads within the context of a show? Or are these paid commercials?

I don't currently have a TV, so I'm spared all of this nonsense.
