Ifølge blant andre HuffPost, kostet det Washington Post 5,25 millioner dollar - eller cirka 44,3 millioner kroner - å få vist filmen under Super Bowl.
Flere stilte spørsmål på Twitter om pengene heller kunne blitt brukt til journalistikk.
I filmen er det Tom Hanks som har fortellerstemmen. Hanks spilte også den legendariske Washington Post-redaktøren Ben Bradlee i filmen The Post fra 2017.
This ad was the best thing about the Super Bowl. https://t.co/gGtoIX2N96

With the money the @washingtonpost spent on that ad, they could have employed 50 journalists for a year paying each a salary of $100,000.

The Washington Post ad was good, but it wasn't $5.25 million of journalists' compensation good.
