The ad would be airing...

Take a look at the fine print of this article on CNN, and you'll see a real problem.

This ad was released to the press, apparently, but has yet to run in any markets and there have been no ad buys. Which means the way it is reaching the voting public as is a news story.

The news media is treating John McCain's attack ads as news.

Why not let McCain do his own work and spread his lies himself? They're not news. They're political advertisements.
