Yesterday I checked out Bloomberg's Everytown website. Now, every advertisement banner I get is an ad for Bloomberg's gun control efforts. I'm talking about the advertisment blocks here on THR, which is ironic.
I know web browser histories and cookies influence they type of ads that show up, but I have to say I am surprised at the fact that EVERY ad I see is a Bloomberg ad. Quite a media blitz.
For me personally I could care less. I generally ignore them. I can clean my browser and the ads will go away.
However, I'm a little concerned about the influence this kind of mega blitz might have on "fence sitters" and people who are apathetic or unaware of the dangers of gun control.
Anyway, just sharing that I've gotten a glimpse Bloomberg's juggernaut, and it seems powerful and insidious. It makes me want to do something to counter the ad. A letter to the editor of the local paper, a contribution to a gun rights group, or take a new person out shooting. Anything.
