Back in 2004 CBS and NBC both refused to broadcast an ad from the United Church of Christ which touted its acceptance of all people, including gays and lesbians, into its congregations, because well.. the ads promoted 'acceptance'. Then there was the super bowl ad from moveon.org that CBS didn't want to air, because it also was 'disparaging' to Bush. You could argue that networks are in the public trust and that this kind of thing shouldn't be allowed of course, and many people have brought that up.

If it's against corporate policy to air commercials "disparaging" to the president, then where will election ads go? And not just candidate elections, but ballot issues, like stem cell research. Would they hold the same standard to Michael J Fox calling Bush an asshat because he vetoed stem cell research? If this is where it begins, where does it end? Is this even legal?
