Censoring MoveOn

In “If the Paint Sticks, Sling It,” In These Times Editor Joel  
Bleifuss investigates the censorship of MoveOn PAC’s “Caught Red  
Handed” ad campaign, which targets four Republican incumbents whose  
votes in Congress have put special interest profits before the public  
good.

While the candidates and the RNC are striking back with their own ads  
against MoveOn, many local TV stations and the companies that own  
them have refused to run the advertisements citing  “legal” or  
“business” concerns, despite having run Swift Boat Veteran-sponsored  
ads during the 2004 elections.

To find out why these stations are really censoring MoveOn, go to:
