Banned from Fox News Channel!

The nation's largest pro-troop organization claims Fox News is lying about the reason the network rejected an ad countering ex-President Bill Clinton's recent assertions about his efforts to combat Islamic terrorism.
WorldNetDaily: Fox News accused of lying about anti-Clinton ad ban


I'm not really sure why Fox News Channel would ban this television ad from moveamericaforward.org. I suppose I could speculate that perhaps Fox News Channel is trying to maintain a certain level of 'political correctness' after President Clinton displayed his darker side on the 'Fox News Sunday' interview with Chris Wallace. Or perhaps, Rupert Murdoch, the owner of Fox News, discovered a new found 'affection' for Bill Clinton as a supporter of the Clinton Global Initiative...Who knows?

The bottom line is that it's a shame that CNN, the more liberal network, has approved the ad for broadcasting on both CNN and Headline News. Fox News Channel, on the other hand, came up with a sorry excuse citing, "the lack of documentation". Let's give Fox News Channel the benefit of the doubt for just one moment...now here's my question: When has this ever stopped them from showing political ads, where in many cases, the accusations against their rivals are unproven?
