I was kinda young then but as I recall it was run multiple times in our marked as a Dim add. Regardless, Hink are we that old? Seems like only yesterday.
Possible but that is not my recall in my market. As to the Wa Po, they are scum bag liars and have been for decades. So...no apology to them. LBJ destroyed America. Everything that had happened to wither America before LBJ was survivable, but not the Great Society. That was the killing blow. Johnson, I hope you rot in hell for what you did.
Good. I am glad they disclosed that fact.
After that one paid ad it was a controversial item and the network "news" covered the "controversy" by playing the ad every night, virtually every night until the election in November.
I went back to the article and to the author's credit he disclosed that too.
But the networks (only three of ’em, remember?) duly registered the GOP ire and — to show people what all the fuss was about — ran “Daisy” ad nauseam. Result: The one-time- only spot was shown over and over. And under the aegis of newscasts, it undoubtedly picked up credibility along the way.

Rather than criticize this ad, conservatives need to copy this tacit. Appreciate it for what it was. We’re in a war for our country, but only one side is fighting.
I think that the train left the station under Wilson, and I can’t really conceive of how it might have been stopped after FDR. Johnson no doubt speeded things up, and Obama has shifted things into Warp speed, but after the New Deal, I think that eventual destruction was inevitable.
"Daisy" was run once as a paid ad -- on the NBC Sunday Night Movie.
It was then withdrawn, due to complaints about its obvious unfairness.
However, it was run numerous additional times on the network news -- as a "news" item, with accompanying commentary and analysis.
Excuse me, but I was a teenager when that daisy ad ran. It ran many many many times, on every network, at least once every program I was allowed to watch and I remember it very well, I was very sick of it and very relieved when the election was over and I never had to see it again. My foot, it only ran once on one network! What a lie!
Wait till the current clowns done.
It was a humorous ad, but it easily hoodwinked the American people, which was its purpose.
But it was a monumental commercial!
I totally disagree. Aside from Hussein Obama, Kennedy was widely hated also, I think more than LBJ.
Bill Moyer making millions working at PBS
There were other LBJ ads that attempted to link Goldwater to the KKK.

Meanwhile the GOP ran no ads exposing the Communist Party USA endorsement of Barack Obama for president.
Barack Obama went to racist rallies at Jeremiah Wright’s “church” for 20 years and didn’t get hit with a television ad blitz exposing the hatred this man is steeped in.
Recall that the “news” can run full campaign ads “that only aired once” for the sake of commentary and “reporting”...
There was once a study once about memory of what people saw live on TV- seems like a very sizable number of folks remembered seeing the JFK assassination live on TV. (It wasn’t shown live on TV.) I am certainly NOT implying that you are incorrect about seeing that ad. I remember seeing it also, but it might might not have been the original showing.
Never came up in the 1988 campaign. Yet they called Ronald Reagan the cowboy who was going to lead the world into a nuclear war.
My understanding on the JFK footage is that it was NOT shown on television (certainly immediately in the aftermath of the shooting, I don’t know how long it even took for the two films of the event to surface).
Life magazine ran a series of photos from the film shortly afterwards. And I guess that prints of the film circulated privately.
I heard/read that it first was broadcast in 1976 (by Jerry Rivers/Geraldo Rivera on ABC if I recall).
