No doubt you've heard about CBS' decision to ban billboards questioning Barack Obama's eligibility for office as "offensive, misleading or incompatible with community standards."
That's fine.
As I have explained before, I don't care if CBS prohibits the use of its billboards for my campaign to bring public attention to this issue. In fact, I support CBS' absolute right to reject any kind of advertising it deems inappropriate.
However, I think it is the public's right to know what CBS' standards are – if, indeed, the company has any.
According to CBS, this billboard in Phoenix, purchased by a group of Arizona atheists," is not offensive or incompatible with community standards.
This one is.
Again, that's fine. If those are CBS' standards, so be it. But the public should know.
Questioning God is OK. Questioning Barack Obama, even when he is not named, is not.
