All those worthless Ad Council ads that are played on RUsh and Hannity and that hapless dope Glenn Beck, I bet they cost the taxpayers millions.
No fan of smarmy Ad Council ads. But they claim that “Yes, we are a nonprofit. And like any other nonprofit, we raise funds from individuals, corporations and foundations to support our general operations.” Anyhow, sponsors are skittish about those shows (especially Rush, since Fluke-gate a few years back) so they have to fill ad space with something, so people don’t think there’s a problem with their car radio.
I would like to know how much of our tax dollars are going to produce and pay for those ads. Some lobby is making a ton of money putting together ads that are stupid.
