[An unexpected ad, from a target of my criticism]
I haven't exactly been a rah-rah booster of Newseum financial backer Freedom Forum, what with my snarky suggestion that the non-profit foundation's CEO, Charles Overby, was recently in bed with legendary retired Gannett CEO Al Neuharth. (Ick: there's an image!)
So, you can imagine my amusement when I saw a Newseum text ad (screenshot, above) at the top of my blog last night. To be sure, it's one of the new Google-served advertisements I began publishing over the weekend. I doubt the $450 million museum's marketing department chose this venue. Then again, politics make strange (prison) bedfellows. . .

Please keep your posts focused on Gannett and media-related subjects. Note that I occasionally review comments in advance, to reject inappropriate ones. And I ignore hostile posters, and recommend you do, too."
