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.
