From MediaMatters.org:
CBS to air new "anti-Clinton ad"?
Citizens United ad would apparently violate CBS's stated policy not to run "advocacy" ads on "controversial issues of public importance"
CBS is apparently set to run a new TV advertisement attacking former President Bill Clinton that appears to violate the network's stated prohibition on "advocacy" ads that deal with "controversial issues of public importance." Under the headline "Citizens United Launches New Anti-Clinton Ad Campaign to Air during '60 Minutes' Interview," Citizens United (led by David N. Bossie) announced on its website the new ad is to air during Clinton's June 20 appearance on CBS's news program 60 Minutes. The self-described "advocacy" group explained, "Amidst the hype surrounding the release of former President Clinton's new book, 'My Life', Citizens United sets the record straight by exposing the real legacy President Bill Clinton left for America."
The Citizens United ad claims that Clinton is "responsible" for "leaving us vulnerable to terrorists."
