Faux is confusing me
I just saw TWO Kerry/Edwards ads within ten minutes on my local Faux station; goddamn it, are you biased or not?

:hippie:

1. Local stations are independently owned
or at least owned by conglomerates that have nothing to do with Faux's cable news. They just buy the Faux programming.

They can run any commercials they want.

4. Columbus is liberal? I thought otherwise. Lets hope that area does go
for Kerry-Edwards.

6. oh yeah
We've had Mayor Coleman for quite a while, who is an excellent democrat, and Columbus has one of the highest percentages of GLBT residents in the country (not that they are neccesarily liberal, but its a good indicator). The state legislature is extremely conservative, so sometimes people associate it with the actual city.

3. media buying is a different department
business is business, the people that sell the commercial spots have nothing to do with the people that determine how the news is covered.

Money is green, not red or blue.

5. Kerry is overflowing with money that he needs to burn before the
convention. Adds will be everywhere!!
