[EL] newspaper running/buying candidate ad?

[Bill Sherman]

Readers of this list may be interested in something in today's Seattle
Times.  On page B6, among bank and Wal-Mart ads and between the comics and
the obits, the Times ran a full-page color ad supporting a candidate for
governor (the same one the paper endorsed).  The ad was paid for by the
Seattle Times Co.

 

That's the first time I can remember seeing a significant IE paid for by a
regular mainstream media outlet, run in its own pages (or bandwidth, or air
time).  I'm curious whether I've been missing this occurring elsewhere.
Have you seen this in your markets?  (please spare me the Fox News & MSNBC
comments).
