Commercial on Fox News (vanity)

Sept 22 | Dalene Barnes

Did anyone else see the commercial on Fox News just now?? A bunch of women were stating "my son (husband, etc.) just died in Iraq," then going on to say things like "Mr. President, how many solidiers will you let die for your mistake?" "Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11" "pull us out of this quagmire."

What's up with this? Will letters do any good? They were the only news I ever listened to/read anymore, but apparently, they'll take $$ from the highest bidder with no qualms about the message.

Yes, I saw it and I am fuming!

[BoBToMatoE]

I am sick of the POS commercial. I have already left a phone message for fox.

Pick your choice of how to contact fox. I told them I watch fox so I dont have to put up with that kind of garbage and will quit watching them until the ad stops running.

Why not? Capitalism works.

[Red Badger]

Was it FOX or an affiliate commercial?.........

[oldleft]

If you don't run it, then you have to put up with all the censorship BS, so just run it and let people make up their own minds.

The American public isn't as stupid as they think. That's why they hate us.

Yes, I've seen it twice here in Colorado this morning and I'm about ready to assassinate my TV.

It seems that moonbats have plenty of money for spreading lies. Too bad they don't give it to help the victims of Katrina instead.

[rightinthemiddle]

Actually, it's kind of like letting a troll stay around for a while...you get to see how stupid they are. Hume does it a lot on Grapevine...report the story and the content speaks for itself.

I doubt if anyone who watches Fox believes that crap.

[snarks_when_bored]

I saw it. The Dems are pulling out their guns early, it would seem.

I didn't like it, but it's free speech. Had Fox refused to air the ad, they would've been pilloried throughout the MSM. I'd guess they just didn't want their "fair and balanced" slogan to receive slings and arrows this week.

I'm sorry for the losses of the women in the ad, but I don't believe that their losses grant them special insight into how the foreign policy of the United States and the War on Terror ought to be prosecuted.

If it's running on Fox's network time, let them know that the commercial is so offensive that it's actually causing you to switch away from their channel. Let the other sponsors know, too. They will likely dump one offensive commercial if it's taking ratings away from the others.

[TexasTaysor]

It's been running here about once an hour so far.

[funkywbr]

There is a 2 page ad in USAtoday saying the Prez etc lied, yayayaya...

And then a coupon to send Dem tax Free donations.

Must be multi-prong attack Bush and Comp today.

Hooo-hummm,,, boring...

"It seems that moonbats have plenty of money for spreading lies. Too bad they don't give it to help the victims of Katrina instead"

People like these never donate privately to help anyone. They will tell you that is the Government's job. It is the way they process information and come to their conclusions that is the real problem. As far as the commercial is concerned, I have faith that the truth always comes out in the end both about them and the real events in Iraq.

[bikepacker67]

Well, they do claim to be fair and balanced, no?

[nikos1121]

Fair and Balanced? My @ss. Their online news site is blatantly anti-Bush. If you don't believe me look at the photos they run of the president and the headlines.

I'm also getting sick of O'Reilly and his holier than thou attitude. He's a con man to the extreme. How he escaped the sexual harassment charge is beyond me.

For myself as well, Fox is the only news channel I watch with any frequency. That said, I hardly ever watch them anymore.

They are just another alphabet channel, more interested in being a ghoul than a constructive part of our nation.

I do like Hume, Cavuto and Gibson, but after that, click, the TV is off.

It is just like Clear Channel running MoveON.org commercials during local conservative radio hosts.

When it comes to the almighty Buck in the country, no one has any loyalty or shame.

Which why I'm here so often on FR to get the news.

Thanks fellow FReepers for stomaching the crud, so I dont have to.

[eXe]

Yeah I saw it as well.. ticked me off.

I have called Direct TV and complained as I think thats who is responsible for this ad. That garbage has no place on TV if ya ask me.

[frogjerk]

Did it change your mind about IRAQ? - If not, then it was money poorly spent.

[MizSterious]

I have Dish Network, and I saw it too. I think it's Fox.
