CNN, MSNBC to air ad turned down by Fox over Nazi imagery
CNN, MSNBC to air ad turned down by Fox over Nazi imagery
By Tal Axelrod - 02/15/19 10:49 PM EST
CNN and MSNBC have both decided to air a commercial for a film about American Nazis that Fox News had previously declined to carry, The Washington Post reported Friday.
The ad, which is for the short film “A Night at the Garden,” will air during CNN's “The Situation Room” and MSNBC's “The Rachel Maddow Show” on Monday, according to The Post. The film is nominated for an Academy Award and shows footage from a 1939 Nazi rally in New York.
“We decided to dig deep and pay for television ads we weren’t planning to buy because we wanted to make the point that Fox News is out of the mainstream,” the movie’s director, Marshall Curry, told the newspaper.
“It says something that some news channels trust their audience to interpret American history while Fox distrusts its audience and doesn’t think it can do that.”
