The Seattle Post-Intelligencer’s Big Blog last week reported on some controversial political billboards popping up around Seattle. The ads say they’re paid for by “Concerned Citizens for a Better America.” The Southern Calif.-based Citizens for a Better America, however, says it’s not behind the ads, and it’s none too happy that another organization has infringed its registered trademark and misled the public into believing it’s responsible. Clear Channel, the billboards’ owner, apparently is keeping mum about who’s been writing the checks.
