Audacity of Truth
Whiner-in-Chief:
"[W]hether the grumbling is about Republicans on Fox or bloggers in pajamas, there's a word for what the president and his aides are doing. That word is "whining." And nothing [...] does more damage to Obama's credibility or authority than the sense that a popular president is becoming the whiner-in-chief."

CNBC, MSNBC won’t run pro-war ads
Astounding:
We wrote here about the television commercials that Freedom’s Watch has produced, featuring veterans and their families, that urge Congress and the public to continue supporting the Iraq war. The commercials are well done, and convey the simple message that the Iraq war is important and winnable, and that we should allow our troops to see the mission through. The ads are appearing in the context of a blizzard of anti-war ads by left-wing groups, intended to pressure Senators and Congressmen into pulling the plug on the Iraq effort.
Freedom’s Watch has placed its ads on Fox and CNN, but CNBC and MSNBC have refused to run the ads. Ari Fleischer wrote this morning on behalf of Freedom’s Watch to let us know that CNBC and MSNBC have stubbornly refused to air the pro-war ads, even though they have run issue ads on other controversial topics. Freedom’s Watch has written to CNBC and MSNBC to protest their decision; here is the text of that letter:

Thank you ST.
It is unbelievable to me that these outlets would refuse to air the words of these proud veterns Iraqi War veterns and their family.
How cowardly. I’m sure if someone made a commercial with veterans who were protesting the war they would show it every 5 minutes for free.

her name was Cindy Sheehan.
Targeted media placement that delivers an audience is the way to stretch a well spent ad dollar.
Since nobody watches these networks it would be a bad media buy.
CZ,
While your point is valid, I find that if a client approached me interested in spending some of their $15 million 30 day add camapign on me I would not reject it based on idealogy.
If I were a stockholder, they would get a sternly written letter.
As a citizen, it is unexcusable to ignore these men and women who served. NBC should be ashamed.
NBC, CNBC, an MSNBC are so politically biased that I’m not surprised this happened. MSNBC has to protect Keith Olbermann, otherwise, what do they have?
