All’s Well That Plays Well

Did you see this ad the New York Times has been running online? A simple banner, with very few words — but it’s pretty effective at getting its message across, I think.

Maybe a little too effective, if you know what I mean. Is it just me, or has the NYT ad department just given the President a ringing endorsement? It’s one thing when the editorial page makes an endorsement, but a banner ad? Really?

“Just given the President ANOTHER ringing endorsement…” which has kinda been the root of their problems since they first fell in love with him.

So, judging by said advertisement, I guess they’re STILL not gettin’ why subscriptions’re slippin’…?

The examples of media bias are getting so frequent, so obvious … it’s hard to keep track.

I did enjoy this one, though … and CNN selling Obama T-shirts. Where can I buy a ‘thrill going up the leg’ starter kit?

Those fools must think people admire Obama.
Poll: Obama is man Americans admire most
Oh…

When you said “a little too effective, if you know what I mean” I thought you were referring to the Hitler salute.
