A Super Bowl Deficit

Published: January 31, 2004

It is regrettable that MoveOn.org's ad and similar messages, from the left or the right, are not considered suitable for the Super Bowl. About 130 million viewers in the United States are expected to watch the Patriots take on the Panthers. That it is deemed necessary to shield viewers from pressing public issues while they are being bombarded with commercial pitches is a sad commentary on the state of our culture, and of our democracy.

If you want to support the NY TIMES view on this issue,
you can send a letter-to-the-editor at:
letters@nytimes.com

example format (don't use exact words)

Televison networks should broadcast advertisements from non-profits such as MoveOn ("A Super Bowl Deficit," January 31, 2003).

(paragraph 2 of 2 of your letter)
