Anti-union ad sponsoring Thom Hartmann's radio show -- WTF?
Edited on Tue Dec-16-08 02:12 PM by Bozita
A real right-to-work ad aimed at teachers. I didn't catch the name of the organization.

The ad ran at approximately 1:57pm ET. I have no way of knowing if it was part of the Hartmann broadcast or a locally run ad.

I'm listening on the Dearborn/Detroit AAR station.

Anybody else hear it?

2. more than
likely it's either a local spot run as a "space available" spot or a network originated spot.

I have heard the same complaint pop up on financial advice shows for spots for "get rich quick" schemes.

The shows have little or no control over the commercials run by local stations (and I don't think that they legally can dictate what spots can run during their show)

3. Have you heard the library of congress adds?
The one with a reading from a book called "Esperanza Rising"? It's nothing but anti-union propaganda paid for with your tax dollars.
