There seems to be nothing of value here except an apocalyptic headline attached to a prime parasitic topic with a dash of political paranoia sprinkled on top for flavor. But since we're on the topic anyway: My guess is Apple is going to target iAd as a premium advertising platform largely pitched to Fortune 500 companies who are already carefully protecting their brands from controversy. The same type of companies who buy TV ads, magazine ads, etc. Just look at the demos Apple presented: Nike & Disney. You'll probably see lots of ads for video games, movies, music, TV shows, clothing, restaurants, etc. Safe stuff. For political advertising I would guess Apple might have a no-negative policy or simply not accept any political advertising at all. Apple certainly has no obligation to be a dumb aggregator of advertising. They can carve out their own niche as they always do.
