! Certainly you don't accept articles that oppose The Progressive's values, or even sympathetic ones that you think aren't up to your standards. When you justify running ads that clearly oppose these values and standards, it's not really a matter of "free speech," "hearing all points of view," or "exposing readers to any thoughts."
