NY Gov. Opines on Obesity Tax

Like the back pages of most American newspapers, media Web sites are increasingly getting into the commentary game. CNN.com recently expanded its use of commentary with an Op-ed from New York Governor David Paterson arguing for the need for an obesity tax.

But CNN.com would be wise to not serve advertising on these Op-ed pages. When we clicked through ads for Target and Chevy appeared. But also an ad for something called MVPParents, which includes a mission the Governor writes about: A healthy parent-child co-existence.
