This will end up being criticized further by the media, and as it is correctly stated above, the public will look to the media for answers and be coerced into finding fault with Republicans. These CD's expected coverage is being compared to the Midwest Heroes ads, but i find this situation almost the opposite. With the Midwest Heroes, most of the mainstream media has avoided the story to benefit the Dem's. Consequently you have most of the country that doesn't know names like Merrilee Carlson, but everyone knows old Crawford Sheehan.

Why is it that the Democratic party has all of a sudden become proponents of limiting individual freedoms - like freedom of speech - when it has been their stance in the past to ensure freedom for everything to everyone regardless of the consequences. I guess the tide has turned and the Dems are grasping at loose ends to ensure that the media they have controlled for so long doesn't allow the filtration of good news - accurate news - from reliable sources on the war on terror to enter the mainstream media. Television ads, direct-mail pieces - its all protected by the first amendment unless it is causes harm and this does exactly the opposite. These messages envoke hope. AnnaB makes a good point.

I don't believe the media feels these ads are misleading or false, but that they are actually right and threaten the information they want the American public to hear. This is where it becomes difficult for me to grasp - what is so wrong with an ad by servicemen who've actually seen the progress made in Iraq asking for the public's support? And, what is actually illegal about these cds - doesn't free speech still exist for everyone, even the Republican party? I believe this is why so many people are turning to the blogosphere for their news and turning off their TVs and Radios and putting down the newspapers!
