(Fwd) CBS Censors Winning Ad

Federal law requires stations to sell ad time to candidates for federal
office, but not to independent groups.

CBS apparently has a policy of rejecting these kind of ads and does so no
matter what the viewpoint.

I don't see this as censorship but I question the judgment of CBS.  I don't
share the political views of moveon.org but I have seen the ad in question
and think it is well done and clever.  Why does the Super Bowl have to be
free of politics?
