Will there be any TV adverts for Micheal Moore's Capitalism?
I have seen dozens of interviews on talk shows, but not one single TV ad.

Is he relying on "word of mouth" to promote his movie? I hope not because some people never watch "the news".

Are networks denying him time for ads?

1. I've seen a lot of TV ads for it
I live in NJ, just outside of NYC, so all my local TV stations are based in NYC. Maybe that has something to do with it. :shrug:

9. Um, no.
Capitalism is the ability of private people to own the means of production, and therefore, profit from the labor of other by doing nothing. Why is advertising a movie the Moore made, to make more money, capitalistic? Moore produced a product. It is his own labor he is profiting from (which isn't the capitalistic model)

11. I have seen both TV and Print ads here
in St. Louis. The TV may have been cable, but the print was in the St. Louis Post - Dispatch.
