raanve's LJ, we had a discussion about some accusations by moveon.org. In addition to what I felt was a lot of ignorance and idiocy in their whinefest, they stated that they felt CBS held a double standard because it was running a bush political ad while refusing to accept theirs. In order to determine the truthfulness of this claim, I have decided to give the ultimate sacrifice. I will actually watch the superbowl all the way through, something I have neve done in my entire life. I will track the commercials as they appear and tally the number of political attack ads that CBS has allowed on the air while barring moveon.org.Commercials so far:

Yet another aol commercial about how it goes faster with those bike guys.

Another kids, don't drink beer even though we've constantly shown you beer commercials all night. What a crock of shit. Their best defense is at least they weren't GOOD commercials.

Lets do our commercial recap:
Number of political attack ads run by Bush: 0
Number of political attack ads run by anyone else: 0*
Number of political ads run by Bush: 0
Number of political ads run by anyone else: 0
Have something to say, Raanve? Maybe I missed it somewhere through that 4 and a half hours of crap, but I didn't see a single bush ad that moveon.org claimed was being run.
*: Unless you want to count that truth.com piece of shit but it probaly dosen't count.
