• October 6 -- No
Outcry Over NBC's "ILIE" -- But Times Smelled out
"Subliminal" Message in "RATS" Ad from 2000

for 16 seconds next to President Bush's face. The Times ignored it,
perhaps dismissing the juxtaposition as inadvertent. But back in 2000,
Democratic complaints about a single frame of an anti-Gore ad were front-page
news.
