The non-profit organization, Freedom Watch put together a nice television commercial that features everyday Americans saying "Thank you" to American troops serving abroad in the War on Terror. CNN and Fox News are airing the ad, while NBC, claiming the ad is overtly political, decided not to run it. More specifically, the network objects that the organization included its website at the end of the commercial. And keep in mind, this is the same network that had no political scruples whatsoever about giving Al Gore and the global warming cause thirty-five hours of free air time to spew the hardly proven theories of man-made global warming. Some are calling for a boycott of NBC.

Watch the ad here:
There is a singular irony when the media turns its back on that very force which secures its right to cover and report news freely in the first place.

UPDATE: NBC CHANGES ITS TUNE
Here's the statement from NBC:
"We have reviewed and changed our ad standards guidelines and made the decision that our policy will apply to content only and not to a referenced Web site. Based on these amended standards the Freedom's Watch ad will begin to run as early as Sunday."
NBC is simply revealing themselves for what the rest of us already know: they're a part of the liberal media elite that secretly hates America and her Armed Forces.
