Fox spokeswoman Irena Steffen in New York said the decision was not made at the national level. "You would think a man in his position would know the difference between a local affiliate and a national news network," she said.

McAuliffe knows. People who are NOT "in his position" don't necessarily know the difference. Those people will be fooled by McAuliffe's portrayal of this as Fox News Channel bias.

If truth in advertising laws were applied to political advertisment....there wouldn't be any.

"Leaving off a part of the President's sentence is intentionally misleading and untruthful."

It also infringes on Maureen Dowd's copyrighted trademark.

I remember when WMSN became Madison's fifth television station (and the first that wasn't a multiple of 3 but not 6--the first four were 3, 15, 21, and 27, but WMSN was 47--a pretty big crank from everyone else on the rotary tuner). Back then I think they were struggling for advertisers because they would sometimes run the same ad for "Circus Fun" cereal twice in a row. Actually, WMSN's entry into the market was probably pretty well-timed, since Fox came into being very shortly afterward.

BTW, can any Wisconsin FReepers tell me what Mad City's current TV lineup is? Are all of the first five still in the roles I rememember (CBS-3 NBC-15 PBS-21 ABC-27 Ind/Fox-47)?

Send an email to the station to thank them for having some ethics- and practicing them.

I think the FCC rules still allow stations to refuse to air ANY ad .. period! The dems don't get that rule either. I liked the reply McAwful got though, "you'd think a man in his position would know the difference between local and network ..." - that was great! And .. she's right! Good grief, even I know that.

But .. x42's minions are not hired because they have good charater and credentials to do a job - x42's minions get hired to be x42's lackeys. If they are willing to take his orders - he puts them in good positions. Even though they don't have any talent to do the job assigned.

Geeeee .. who does that remind you of - Hmmm? I believe that's what Saddam used to do ..??
