Edwards Buys Ad Time on MSNBC to Rebut Bush's Iraq Speech

EDWARDS BUYS AD TIME ON MSNBC TO REBUT BUSH'S IRAQ SPEECH
[SOURCE: TVWeek, AUTHOR: Michele Greppi]
Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards is opening a new front in political advertising tonight when he takes issue with President Bush’s view of the war in Iraq in a two-minute national ad on MSNBC. The commercial, taped in the library of Mr. Edwards’ Chapel Hill, N.C., home Wednesday, will run at approximately 9:50 p.m. EDT, in the second commercial break during MSNBC’s analysis of President Bush’s 9 p.m. televised address and the official Democratic response delivered by Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI). It will be clearly identified as a spot paid for by the Edwards campaign. As attention-getting as it is—the Associated Press and even CNN reported Thursday afternoon on the buy on its competitor—the spot is less than half the size the Edwards campaign had initially envisioned. The Edwards campaign was turned down by more than one national TV outlet when it sought to buy five minutes of time following the president’s speech.
