Fox TV Affiliate Refuses to Air Anti-Bush Campaign Ad for Democrat in New York
A Fox affiliate television station rejected a campaign commercial for a Democrat running in a local race, and the candidate alleges it's because the ad slams President Bush.
Brian Ellner, one of nine Democrats running for Manhattan borough president, said Tuesday that the station had agreed to air his ad leading up to the Sept. 13 primary.
But Fox 5 pulled out of the deal after it saw the 30-second ad, which features Bush's head superimposed onto a bare torso as the voiceover intones, "He claims he's a uniter, but New Yorkers know the emperor has no clothes."
... Ellner said Fox told the campaign media adviser and the ad buyer that the spot was refused because it was "disrespectful to the office of the president."
