McLuhan ABC ad on “friendly teamness”

A 1971 2-page ad from the ABC television network gave McLuhan’s views on the “friendly teamness” of TV news:

ABC paid McLuhan for the preparation of this ad copy and subsequently ran it in Variety (25 August, 1971, p35), Broadcasting (6 September, 1971, p8),  New York Magazine (Sept 13, 1971, p10) and doubtless elsewhere.
