Yahoo! News - CBS Pulls Medicare Ad Pending Review
WASHINGTON - CBS has stopped running the Bush administration's publicly funded ad for the new Medicare prescription drug law, pending a review of its content by congressional investigators.

The 30-second ad, titled "Same Medicare. More Benefits," has prompted strong criticism from Democratic lawmakers and a range of interest groups who say it is a barely disguised commercial for President Bush's re-election campaign.

ABC insisted that the government edit part of the ad, which asserts that members "can save with Medicare drug discount cards this June. And save more with prescription drug coverage in 2006," to indicate that savings can vary.

Finally saw this on ABC last night, and yes, it IS a commercial for Bush. I don't know what ABC edited, but I am appalled at the blatant misuse of public funds and I think the Dems should ask for equal time.
