Blogads

With the primary season now upon us -- or at least the netroots primary season now upon us -- it seems that this is a good time to reiterate my blog ad policy.

I accept ads from any Democratic candidate or progressive organization and most private industry or public relations firms, proceeding with the assumption that my illustrious readers, being media savvy enough to find this little blog in the first place, are media savvy enough to negotiate the world of advertising and p.r. without any help from me.

The one and only exception I've ever made from accepting ads submitted here was an anti-net neutrality ad that the telcos ran last summer. While most bloggers accepted it, that particular ad was, in my view, too blatantly false and filled with disinformation for me to feel comfortable running.

But beyond that one instance where my conscience rose up and smote the telcos, the general policy around here is laissez faire, laissez aller, laissez passer. At the going rate of $20 per week, of course.
