22 times? Really?
I know this is old news, but the number still staggers me:
In what appears to be a test before the advertising campaign is rolled out to a broader audience, the political group Progress for America spent more than $1 million to air the commercials in Minnesota over a two-week period, according to a source familiar with the ad buy.
Progress for America spokesman Stuart Roy said the group purchased "a saturation buy" in which the average Minnesota television viewer saw two pro-war commercials a combined total of 22 times between Feb. 9 and 22.
Did anyone see those ads 22 times? I saw the ads 2 or 3 times, but don't watch a ton of broadcast television. I'm a satellite TV guy, so I see much less local advertising.
Coincidentally, insurgents destroyed the Samarra mosque on Feb. 22. How much good news did the ensuing violence and curfew drown out?
