Next on CBS: Angry Women

Well, CBS hasn’t botched their late night programming quite as effectively as NBC has, but they’re racking up major idiot points of their own: Next Sunday is the Superbowl, and CBS has come under some serious fire for its decision to air an advertisement by the organization Focus on the Family – who vehemently oppose abortion- ie: a women’s right to choose.

Really? Because last time I checked there was a division between Church, State and the Media. Or there was supposed to be, anyway.

Despite their longstanding tradition of prohibiting controversial spots during the Super Bowl, “CBS now claims to have changed its policy on accepting advocacy ads. But its decision to debut this policy by associating itself with the anti-choice, anti-equality Focus on the Family raises serious questions about CBS policies and bias” (Souce: The Women’s Media center.)

As part of their efforts to get CBS to drop the add, the Women’s media center has launched a campaign, urging viewers to suggest what CBS stands for. Their examples include “Corporate Broadcast Sell-outs” or “Completely Blatant Sexism.”
