CBS told Schwab that the network wouldn't run the ad because the language specifically takes shots at the ethics of brokers at Merrill Lynch & Co. (MER: Research, Estimates), which recently settled a case for $100 million brought on by New York States Attorney General Eliot Spitzer alleging its stock recommendations were tied to investment-banking fees, the Journal reported. A CBS spokesman told the Journal that the fact that Merrill is a bigger advertiser with the network had no bearing on the decision not to run the Schwab ad. LOL! And I'm the Queen of England! Looks like CBS is exactly as corrupt as the brokerage industry! For anyone who ever suspected that the media has a bullish bias- here's the proof! The media is bullish because they are addicted to the brokerage industry ad dollars!
