CNN says no to Bush assassination ad
Well, I guess the Jihadist News Network does have some standards:
Major U.S. news outlets CNN and National Public Radio will not air paid ads or sponsor announcements for a controversial film depicting the assassination of President George W. Bush, citing the film’s content, network spokeswomen said on Tuesday.
The film, “Death of a President,” caused a stir at the Toronto Film Festival in September where it debuted, and two major U.S. cinema chains have declined to screen the film when it debuts in the United States on Friday.
“CNN has decided not to take the ad because of the extreme nature of the film’s subject matter,” the cable television network said in a statement.
Now, if the snipers depicted in the movie had been Iraqi terrorists, I suppose it would have been quite a quandary…
