CNN REJECTED TO PLAY OBAMA'S 30 MIN AD, BECAUSE THEY ANYWAY PROMOTE HIM ALL DAY

CNN rejected Obama ad; Fox News not asked
Make of this what you will: CNN says the Barack Obama campaign tried to purchase airtime tomorrow night on the network to run its 30-minute primetime ad. The news network says it rejected the request.

From a CNN spokesperson:

We were approached by the Obama campaign and declined their request. We did not want to pre-empt our programming lineup with a 30-minute spot. We rather use our air to continue to cover the campaign, candidates and issues like we always do from all points of view with the best political team on television.
