Fox News has refused to air an ad produced by the Center for Constitutional Rights that criticizes the Bush administration for "destroying the Constitution" by the use of renditions, torture, and other tactics. The ad, "Rescue the Constitution," which is narrated by actor Danny Glover, can be viewed here and here.

In an email provided to Media Matters for America by the Center, Fox News account executive Erin Kelly told Owen Henkel, the Center's e-communications manager, that Fox would not run the ad:

Hi Owen --

We cannot approve the spot with it being Danny Glover's opinion that the Bush Administration is destroying the Constitution. If you have documentation that it is indeed being destroyed, we can look at that.

Sorry about that,

Erin

In 2005, Fox refused to run an ad critical of then-Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito Jr., who had been nominated by President Bush to succeed retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.

But they have no problem with airing adds with the opinion that Tide is better than Cheer or some other such nonsense. Then again what else did they expect to happen? Faux News is an organ of the Republicratic-Democan machine. If they want to run an add such as this they will not be able to do it on any of the three original networks or any of the news networks. The thing to do is find the most popular television show on a non-original network station and run the add there.

Then again, with the FCC having the power to take away licenses, all stations may be afraid of airing it.

the almost amusing thing is that it was to be aired during O'REILLY'S SHOW, and they're worried about opinion vs proven fact???
