[Mishmash] Freedoms Watch

[Carole]

the strange thing about this is that every other network including CNN aired
this ad and it is a paid ad - not a public service message.  i wonder how
many other ads NBC says they won't air?  from what I see every night from
viagra to tv porn shows (on dish channels but the networks air them) i would
say very little is censored out - except the military and national pride.  i
sent my nasty email to GE.

Folks,
 
      NBC finally relented on their decision not to air the videos shown on
this page.  They apparently considered them 'too controversial', which is
something I cannot fathom.  I don't think you'll understand either once you
see these videos.
 
      This is the URL to where you can view both versions of it.

      Let me know what you think.
 
      I think that public pressure shouldn't have been required for NBC to
have aired this ad.   How about you?
 
      I sent NBC News a very nasty email about it.  I guess that they got a
lot of other ones, too.
 
      Regards,
 
 
 
                                                                     Fred
