MSNBC debuted new “Lean Forward” ads today featuring the network’s four primetime hosts: Chris Matthews, Lawrence O’Donnell, Rachel Maddow and Ed Schultz.
But there’s something different about the ads this time around. They’re directed by Spike Lee, and Oscar-nominated Matthew Libatique, who worked on “Black Swan,” served as the director of photography.

“Riding New York City’s Times Square Shuttle subway cars will be a lot more interesting next month.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority says it will be airing video clips from Major League Baseball broadcasts on the shuttle that runs between Times Square and Grand Central Terminal.
The campaign is an effort by the MTA to raise its advertising revenue. The cable network TBS is paying to air the highlights of the previous day’s playoff games to promote its coverage of the playoffs.”

Weight Watchers, George Foreman Cooking & Sylvan Learning Pull Ads From Glenn Beck
Glenn Beck’s significant sponsor loss is visible. In the U.K., his show has not had any advertisements for the past nine days. In the United States, his show already has few advertisers. Many of these that appear are either unpaid public service announcements or are cheaper ads that would ordinarily run during off-peak hours. Presumably, Fox is placing these ads during Beck’s show in order to fill the gap. Accordingly, new advertisers are occasionally rotated into his show. When this happens, we immediately urge them to stop sponsoring Glenn Beck’s indecency.
Today, we are announcing three additional sponsors that have pulled their advertisements from Glenn Beck’s show: Weight Watchers, George Foreman Cooking and Sylvan Learning.

The two children chosen to front Richard Dawkins’s latest assault on God could not look more free of the misery he associates with religious baggage. With the slogan “Please don’t label me. Let me grow up and choose for myself”,…
Their father, Brad Mason, is something of a celebrity within evangelical circles as the drummer for the popular Christian musician Noel Richards…
He said: “It is quite funny, because obviously they were searching for images of children that looked happy and free. They happened to choose children who are Christian. It is ironic. The humanists obviously did not know the background of these children.”
He said that the children’s Christianity had shone through. “Obviously there is something in their faces which is different. So they judged that they were happy and free without knowing that they are Christians. That is quite a compliment. I reckon it shows we have brought up our children in a good way and that they are happy.”….
