"rememberfreedom.org" ad just ran on CBS (during Dave)...
...something put out by the Ad Council. Oddly enough, it aired right after the Al Franken interview.

Doesn't this violate their policy of not running issue ads? :shrug:

2. I checked the site...
Funded by:
John S & James L Knight Foundation
Hearst Corp
Charles Stewart Mott Foundation
Coca Cola
Home Depot

3. I guess Coca-Cola and CBS get to decide what is 'public service'
...and what isn't.

4. I think the Ad Council ads are considered Public Service Announcements
I think the Ad Council ads are considered Public Service Announcements and played for free to fulfill FCC requirements.

That still leaves the question of why CBS is showing an Office of National Drug Control Policy Ad during the Super Bowl.

5. I believe the ONDCP ads count as PSAs (Unfortunately)
Any verification?
