• The Effects of Issue Advocacy Advertising On Voters' Candidate Issue Knowledge and Turnout

This study examined the effects of issue advocacy ads on voters' candidate issue knowledge and turnout, using the 2000 National Election Study survey combined with ad tracking data by Campaign Media Analysis Group. The results showed that those who lived in an area where more issue ads were aired had higher candidate issue knowledge than those in an area with fewer issue ads. Those in an area with more issue ads were more likely to vote than those with fewer issue ads.

• Citizens United Ad May Run During 60 Minutes; Ad Seems to Violate Cbs's Policy Against 'Advocacy Advertising'

WASHINGTON, June 18 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Media Matters for America is calling on CBS to explain its policy on running advocacy advertising in light of a new ad the network is apparently set to run Sunday night, June 20. The ad, produced by Citizens United, appears to violate the network's policy not to run "advocacy" ads -- a policy that has been used to reject ads from liberal organizations but that has not prevented the network from running other advocacy ads produced by conservatives. According to Citizens United, its new "anti-Clinton" ad will air on CBS during 60 Minutes on Sunday. The Citizens United ad claims that Clinton is "responsible" for "leaving us vulnerable to terrorists." Citizens United is run by longtime conservative David N. Bossie, who is perhaps best known for getting...

• 9/11 Event Stirs 'Muslim-Bashing' Fear -- To Anti-Islam

NASHVILLE - A 9/11 event in Tennessee with a roster of speakers linked to anti-Islamic efforts and a policy to ban news coverage is provoking questions from a national advocacy group concerned it will be a "Muslim-bashing session. A poster advertising the Sunday event in Franklin is titled "Remembering 911 ..." in bold large letters, then states in smaller print further down: "No audio recording, video, or photography allowed.

• Ruling On Speech Rights an Advance for Freedom ; While Some Decry Corporate and Union Ads, They Can Offer Important Viewpoints.

The U.S. Supreme Court typically is the least visible branch of the federal government, but every so often it becomes the most visible one because one of its rulings has a wide-ranging impact. Such was the result of its decision last week to strike down parts of campaign finance laws that strictly limited advocacy advertising. While the ruling, "Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission," did not affect the McCain-Feingold ban on direct contributions to candidates, it overturned precedents going back decades placing restrictions on corporations and unions. It thus strikes a blow for freedom of speech on political issues by defending those groups' First Amendment rights.
