Watch the Ad that Fox Won’t Let You See
Scott Horton - Dec 3, 2007 - http://harpers.org/archive/2007/12/hbc-90001838

The Center for Constitutional Rights tried to take space to run this advertisement on Fox TV tomorrow and Wednesday—the day on which the Supreme Court will hear oral argument. The issue before the Court is vital: Did George Bush unconstitutionally terminate the right of habeas corpus? Yes, he did terminate it. And thanks in part to Fox, most Americans aren’t even aware of the fact. But Fox viewers aren’t going to learn about it any time soon, because the official network of the Republican Party won’t show the ad, or permit anyone to discuss the subject.

1. I'm sure faux has very good reasons why

I mean...where is the American Flag waving in the corner of the screen?
Where's the picture of Cheney helping widows and orphans?
Where's the 40-foot monument to Bill O' Lielly?

Where's We Report You Decide?

2. Fox made the ad more of a story by denying it

Now the ad will be played on TV for free over and over again as part of a story about Fox's denial.

If they had just let the ad air, let it run its course, then it would have been probably quickly forgotten.

3. Maintaining mass delusion is a very fragile undertaking, VERY unlike a china shop.

No bull just once and all you have is shattered.

5. The winger paradigm is an incredibly fragile thing, unable to withstand even a moment's criticism.

But they said they are willing to look into it - so, there's hope! :shrug:
