CNSNews.com) - A liberal group Monday is blasting NBC for the decision of two local affiliates owned by GE not to run ads that slams politicians for allegedly siding with corporate interests over the needs of their constituents.
MoveOn.org PAC called the decision "outrageous," suggesting it is a right-wing conspiracy.
"We think it's outrageous for NBC to censor our ad, and wonder if this reflects the well-known right-wing leanings of their parent company, GE," MoveOn.org said in a press release.
"What other explanation could there be for an Ohio NBC station refusing to run our well-sourced, entirely factual ad, while airing the Swift Boat Veterans' deceptive ads in 2004? NBC has a responsibility to be balanced and serve the public, just like the 33 other stations that are running the ad," the group added.

Funny. I heard some Freepers criticizing GE for being too left the other day.

Exactly, only the moonbats beleive their drivel. And, it would seem, they're more than willing to be disengenious.

I'm wondering if MoveOn.org has posted the ads on its website. I'm curious, but now I'm wondering how curious I should be.

I thought NBC refused to run the SBVT ads in 04.

refusing to run our well-sourced, entirely factual ad, while airing the Swift Boat Veterans' deceptive ads in 2004? Has John Fraud Kerry submitted a signed SF-180 yet?
All we are saying is "give truth a chance."

And no market, either. Their ideology was defeated at the polls. No one's buying the product anymore, so the resellers aren't going to stock it. Simple economics, you know?

Why does MoveOn.org want to waste it's money on ads shown on N.B.C? Their news division is doing their political work for them for free.

Perhaps the Ohio NBC affiliate is concerned about ratings and realizes that Americans are so sick of negative political ads that they are ready to puke.
