The following ad, its sound bites spoken and flashing on-screen, just aired on MSNBC:
“This election is the most important of my lifetime.” — Bill Bennett
“Friends of Israel are asking who is going to stand up most effectively against Islamo-Nazi terror, John McCain or Barack Obama.” — Michael Medved
“Hey, no other station has the guts to tell New Yorkers the truth.” — Mike Gallagher
And then, the announcer: “AM 970, The Apple, tells is like it is. Take a bite now. The talk of New York. AM 970 — The Apple.”
The show on which this ad for conservative talk radio aired? Countdown with Keith Olbermann.
Oops.
