It Has Begun. State-Run Media Refuses to Run TV Ads Critical of Obamacare (Video)

The networks refuse to run this ad by League of American Voters:

FOX News reported:

The refusal by ABC and NBC to run a national ad critical of President Obama's health care reform plan is raising questions from the group behind the spot -- particularly in light of ABC's health care special aired in prime time last June and hosted at the White House.

The 33-second ad by the League of American Voters, which features a neurosurgeon who warns that a government-run health care system will lead to the rationing of procedures and medicine, began airing two weeks ago on local affiliates of ABC, NBC, FOX and CBS.

On a national level, however, ABC and NBC have refused to run the spot in its present form.

TV is so last century... if these anti Obamacare people really wanted to make an impact, buy some space at Hulu or the other internet online entertainment places.
