Sorry, but I still disagree Openmike.   Since you seem to have watched the Super Bowl as you mentioned the spots they aired, why wouldn't you have boycotted the game if you felt that strongly about moveon's spot not being allowed on?

As good as moveon's spot may be, it doesn't belong on the Super Bowl. The letter you copied makes some good points about the unhealthy product that sells, but if CBS changed it's policy it would open up to every group, right and left, with an issue that they feel is important. This is a network, and believe it or not, it has nothing to do with the right to free speech.

I did not watch the game, not because I was supporting Moveon (although I like their work), but because I don't care for football and all the hype. I'm sure the ads were crap last night. What did anyone expect? However, no one should have the right to tell someone else how to do their business. Even if it is a corporation like Viacom.
