Just the idea of a Pro War ad is so freaking absurd! Can’t believe any of you are upset that you don’t get enough Pro War advertising. Babies.

Come on now. It’s “managing the news”(Rush), AKA “the filter (Bush).

Yes. The opposite would be the (anti)’Fairness doctrine’ the libs are trying get re-enact.
Of course it wouldn’t be used in this instance, or any other instance in that informs America of truth without a liberal spin.

I haven’t watched either one of those channels for years. The only guy I watch on CNN is Glen Beck. Wonder when he’ll get his walking papers? And, after Amanpournutjob did her hatchet piece on Christianity and Judaism last week I’ll have to think about watching Beck as well. I do watch Fox. Irritating that after about an hour they start recycling the stories with the big “News Alert” nonsense. Consequently, I get most of the news off the net.

Are they really allowed to do this? I know very little about the legalities on this. I have heard there are opposing spots being produced, would they then run them or enact the double standard.

I knew there was a reason why I never watched either of these cable networks. Up until now I just couldn’t put my finger on it. Now it’s clear…they’re too liberal for my liking.

It’s a great World we live in. The MSM follows the Liberal montage and we are supposed to follow along like sheep being lead to slaughter. Not only is the MSM excepting without question what the Liberals have to say, but then the MSM are asking the Muslims if it’s ok before presenting a story or a satirical cartoon that might be considered critical of their agenda.

Times, they are changing fast my friends.

MSNBC is lying. Again. This network has run ads for Michael Moore’s “Sicko” about 1,000 times. Along with many “Global Warming” ads. Not to mention ads for the far left magazine “The Nation” which promises to “Shred White House Lies”. So shame on MSNBC for not telling the truth which is that they are a one sided network that would never do anything that doesn’t jive with their liberal agenda.

Meanwhile, ‘conservative’ talk radio station WIND-AM in Chicago is airing puff piece ads for Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez’s CITGO.

wonder how many “Sicko” ads ran on CNBC?

plenty ran on Fox, annoyed the hell out of me each time. Fair and balanced .

…not a statement directed at Bryan or anyone else in general, but I really detest the term “pro war“. War sucks beyond measure. The only sentient self-aware beings that are ‘pro-war’ are evil blackhearted creatures. Albeit, it is definitely a necessary evil from time to time I suppose. The conotation of being “pro war” just rubs me the wrong way.

It should be referred to in more conflict specific terms, like “pro-Iraqi Freedom”, or “pro-War on Terror”, or some such thing.

That being said, I’m not the least bit surprised NBC has drawn the line in the sand where they have.

CNBC is very good, while MSNBC is dodgy (Abrams rocks though, as does Tucker). Let’s get the pressure on, especially since GE is vulnerable to questions on their editorial judgement (congressional questions as to why they are refusing ads supporting the war when they have DOD and DOE contracts… evil and I like it!).

ODDly today was the FIRST time in the past several years that I could get Fox news vids on Yahoo. I have fox and conservative news sources linked on Yahoo to my homepage but Yahoo always read “No new news articles for past 3 days” every day even though if I directly clicked into the fox site there was obviously news stories.

I guess some libs there thought it was cool to play censor. But then they do like to help the chinese hunt down dissitents because

It’s always been about controlling the information: one brief and polyannish post-WWII period created the lasting impression that we could trust a writer simply because of who they worked for.

Media refuses pro-war ads; media refuses to help FBI by printing photos of people wanted for questioning; these will be the incendiary points in an essay written 30 years from now, by an average student who picked the grade safe topic of Radical Liberalism and the Media in the Early 21st Century.

NBC = Nothing But Cowards
NBC = Nonsensical Beltway Crap
CNBC = Crazy Nut Ball Correspondents
MSNBC = Mo’ Sensational Noise By Clinton

To NBC, it unconscionable that someone would actually support the war and America’s defense against radical jihadists. It is impossible for them to identify with side of the argument. They see it as a non-argument to the point of utter delusion.

In other words NBC Universal used the line from “As Good As It Gets” when explaining themselves…..”Go sell crazy someplace else, we’re all stocked up here.”

GE, the parent of NBC and MSNBC is attempting to market themselves as the lefts version of Fox. It’s a pretty shrewd move in my view, given that so many lefties have no real place to call home since Rather was booted. Matthews and Olberman are test balloons for the rabid left.

Brace yourself folks because GE is one of the top marketing companies in the history of mankind. It’s all by design.

I smell a new advertising/media out let scandal about to explode. I wonder how long before somebody like O’Rielly publicly calls for a boycott of MSNBC and CNBC advertisers? Those advertising giants have quite the reputation for sitting up and taking notice when the big B.O. makes a stink… /yes the snark was intentional…

National Brotherhood of Cowards.

They don’t support the troops.
They don’t support the mission.
They don’t support the surge.
They don’t support the president.

They support losing and surrender.
