"... over here we have FOXNews showing endless tape of 'wounder warriors' and their crying loved ones."

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one thinking that stuff is way past old.

I like the idea of helping vets, but the crying women and wounded children in these ads sends a message that's discouraging families of young Americans from celebrating a military career choice.

. One way we could stop ISIS would be to run these types of ads - but about their soldiers... no 'sex slave' or camaraderie and high excitement - just wounded people, broken lives and wives crying. The extreme ads are weapons to discourage...

Tasteful 'wounded warrior' ads are fine... but some of this new stuff is ... intentional - and bad.

Madison Avenue also loads FOX News up with other cringe worthy ads. Do we really need to know all the kinds of catheters? Are they running 'call this number' ads and giving Fox a 'cut'? That always looks bad.

FOXNews has a lower age demographic than any of the other news outlets but they're the only news group running these types of ads. FoxNews had a fox guarding their hen house.
