Letter to the Editor: Super Bowl ad reveals pro-life bias and contempt for public from CBS

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.

Also, if you're going to complain about advocacy, why are you not complaining about Obama's 10 minute political "commercial" during the pre-game show. (In essence, CBS gave him a $50M campaign contribution at $5M per minute they were charging)

Also, this is just more proof that Planned Parenthood, NARAL, NOW, and others, are NOT about women's rights; and, NOT about "choice"! They are about KILLING mostly poor and minority babies before they are born to control their populations.

This is Eugenics: Planned Parenthood was founded exactly for the purpose of controlling how many blacks and other "undesireables" (Margaret Sanger's words; not mine!) were in the population.

Eugenics was also a favorite of Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot, Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson; and, it led to the slaughter of millions in Somalia.

Nice company you animals keep!!

This add wonderfully showed one woman's CHOICE to go against what others in her life wanted her to do regarding her pregnancy. She CHOSE to go through with it, and give her baby a chance at life. This article shows that the "Pro-Choice" movement really isnt pro-choice, but instead is pro-abortion, and should stop pretending to be otherwise.
