Station refuse to air anti-Bush ad!
A Wisconsin television station has declined to air a political
ad that accuses President Bush of misleading the country about
Iraq’s weapons program, drawing the ire of the Democratic Party
chief.

The ads show Bush, in his State of the Union (search) address,
making the now-disavowed statement about Saddam Hussein seeking
uranium from Africa for a nuclear weapons program. The Democratic National Committee paid about $20,000 to air the ads on stations in Madison, Wis., a strongly liberal college town.

WMSN, a Fox affiliate, issued a statement saying the ad was
misleading because it omitted the phrase, "The British government has learned" about Iraq’s efforts to buy uranium in Africa. "WMSN gave the DNC the opportunity to edit the ad and include the British government’s involvement, but that request was denied," the statement said.
(A station sees a LIE and refuses to air it? Am I still in America? I bet Terry was fit to be tied! I don’t know who the station manager is but he/she has some cojones!)
DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe responded (by stomping his feet and screeching)with an attack on the decision to not run the ad: "Apparently Fox has changed its slogan from ’We report, you decide’ to ’we let Bush
decide what we air.’"
(Sounds like they are NOT going to be on Terry’s Xmas list! What am I Saying? Terry doesn’t celebrate Xmas! Kwansza maybe?)
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.
(You would also think that Terry would know what a lie is. Hell he worked with Bill and Hillary, they know nothing but lies.)
