Many believe that in a country with free speech, CBS should be allowed to air whatever advocacy message they so choose. Others believe that the Super Bowl is about football and it is in poor taste to televise controversial messages during that time.
We, however, feel that these sentiments are missing the real point. When CBS rejects progressive advocacy ads, only to bend the rules for a conservative ad, they are sending a clear message. This is yet another chilling reminder of the conservative bias of media gatekeepers today. Anyone who values fair and unbiased media should be appalled by CBS's decision to not only run this ad, but ignore the thousands of American citizens who petitioned against it.
