NBC won't air conservative commercial

Hopefully this isn't a repost but it seems NBC is showing their bias towards liberals here. To sum it up they won't air an ad that expresses thanks to our troops in Iraq because they don't like what their website says (which would be shown in the commercial.)

Your thoughts?

I haven't watched any NBC programs in over a year. I do watch CNBC during the day. Rupert Murdock is going to own all media within the next 10 years anyway and we'll only get Fox News.

this is what happens when owners use their companies for selfish gain instead of letting the viewers choose.

NBC has always shown theyre biased towards liberals. Whats new?

As a employee of GE I am truly ashamed of that POS network ... What the hell is Immelt's problem .....

And the conservatives have Faux News. Again, nothing new.

it's a business, a private one, get over it

Actually, it's publicly held. However, I support its right to choose what ads it wants to run. I see it much like SVTP, I reserve the right to have only the advertisers I wish to have. Pretty simple concept I think.

And Fox wouldnt run left leaning political ads, BFD!

what i like is that if they chose not to air a liberal commercial, most of you would be celebrating.
Who the hell cares?

Just do what I do.. If you must watch a show aired on NBC DVR it first and just skip right over all the ads, news, and commercials. The worst thing you can do to the network is ignore their sponsors.

Fox has run plenty of left leaning liberal bs. Whether you think it isn't political (I seem to think so), I have seen ads for Michael Moore's bs looney movies which to me have major left leading political stances.

Exactly what part of the General Electric Company is privately held?

Principle means for shit anymore ....

Private - as in not owned by the government. Private citizens own the controlling interest.

 

[SnkBtn99]

Ummmm ....that would be publically held then ..... Private has nothing to do with NBC

 

[WireEater]

If you read the article it has nothing to do with the message of the video, it's the link to their website which is a political site. What's the problem, it's their right. It could cost them more to show it, than not to.

NBC/GE has always leaned to the left, no surprise.
