What is going on with Mediaite's full screen CNN background ad? Isn't that an obvious and gross conflict of interest? YIKES!

Well I think they can accept ads from CNN if they like. But making the ads their wallpaper, covering the screen from top to bottom, is not just overkill. It's ugly!

Re: NPR ombudsman
 
How can the ombudsman say that email demanding that NPR force Liasson to leave FNC is the polar opposite of those emails demanding that NPR leave her alone?
 
One side wants NPR to take away her choice and the other side is insisting that she be allowed to decide for herself.
 
Those positions may be opposites, but not POLAR opposites in the sense that they are both extreme.
 
If anyone is out in the extreme area of any political line, it's the people demanding that she be pressured or given an ultimatum.

Re: Mediaite/CNN ad
 
I agree, the ad looks like crap. The positioning of the mediaite article in the center surrounded by the CNN ad, makes it impossible to even see what CNN is trying to tell us.
 
I receive a daily mediate email listing the latest articles. At the top of the email, is this tip to their sponsor:

Friday's Hannity looks good, Hannity with a live audience consisting of 9/11 victim families. The DVR is set.
