CBS Pulls the Plug on 'Misleading' McCain Ad

A John McCain web ad that was running on YouTube has been yanked because of a copyright claim filed by CBS.

The McCain campaign tried to ‘spin’ footage of CBS news anchor Katie Couric talking about sexism, as it related to Hillary Clinton during the presidential campaign, to their own benefit by tying it to Sarah Palin.

A CBS spokesperson said, “CBS News does not endorse any candidate in the Presidential race. Any use of CBS personnel in political advertising that suggests the contrary is misleading.”

That was a little shady of the McCain folks, don’t you think?
