DeLay ad factual

The folks over at The Daily Delay are urging all to call four television stations to air the new DeLay ad. It appears the four Houston TV stations decided not to air the ad after a letter from a DeLay lawyer threatens to sue. Factcheck.org now says the ad is factual.

Generally, I would call all four stations a bunch of wimps who caved to a politician gasping for air but annatopia took a good look at the station owners and I'm sure you will soon realize why these ads have not been aired to date. Whether the ad airs or not, Campaign for America's Future and the Public Campaign Action Fund have accomplished what these ads so often do. That is get national media attention with minimal airplay.
