The MeidasTouch principals reported that they were not given any reason for the rejection of the nearly $200,000.00 ad buy. However the content of the ad makes it pretty clear that the flagrantly partisan players at Fox News were deliberately censoring the ad because it reflected poorly on the Republican Clown Show and and its ringmaster, Donald Trump. Here is the ad that Fox found so offensive:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We made a $184,854 TV buy with this ad on Fox News this week. Fox News just denied airing our ad. Retweet and get it out in every corner of the country. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/EBz1G2paLv\">pic.twitter.com\/EBz1G2paLv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; MeidasTouch (@MeidasTouch) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MeidasTouch\/status\/1401558459955388419?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 6, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>This ad is a heart wrenching condemnation of the January 6th riots on Capitol Hill by the Trump Insurrection Brigades. It contains the personal testimony of Capital Police officers before Congress and the press. Their remarks expose the still open wounds suffered by the heroes who protected America&#8217;s seat of government when it was under attack by rage-fueled seditionists, including&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Our worst nightmare has really come true. An attack on American democracy right here in the nation&#8217;s capitol.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I experienced the most brutal, savage, hand-to-hand combat of my entire life.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I received chemical burns to my face that still have not healed to this very day.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I just remember people swinging metal poles at us.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s been very difficult seeing elected officials and other individuals whitewashing the events of that day.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Generally, when advertisements are rejected it is due to some part of it being either demonstrably untrue or potentially offensive. Neither of those justifications fit this rejection by Fox News. All of the commentary and the video footage from the riot is verifiably true and well-documented. There is no graphic depiction of violence that could be construed as too harsh for viewing. So that leaves the only excuse for Fox&#8217;s rejection to be pure political discrimination. Ben Meiselas of the MeidasTouch <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/politics\/story\/2021-06-06\/fox-news-ad-jan-6-insurrection-capitol\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">responded to the snub<\/a><\/strong> saying that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe couldn\u2019t have fathomed in our wildest imaginations that even a Fox News would reject an ad that simply condemns the insurrection, and condemns people who support the insurrection,\u201d said Ben Meiselas, one of the co-founders of MeidasTouch, the liberal Political Action Committee that created the 60-second ad. \u201cWhat Fox has really become is a fascist echo chamber gatekeeper for their base.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>By turning down this honest depiction of events on January 6th, Fox News is proving that their support for law enforcement is an exploitative facade. Their segments on how <em>&#8220;Blue Lives Matter,&#8221;<\/em> and their frequent booking of former law enforcement officers is all for show. And their feigned complaints about conservatives being <em>&#8220;canceled&#8221;<\/em> stinks of hypocrisy when they won&#8217;t even take a couple hundred thousand dollars to air a perfectly honest ad. Which may be for the best, because why should any progressive enterprise be funding the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=49243\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">bullshit factory of Fox News<\/a><\/strong>?<\/p>\n<p>The stench of hypocrisy also extends to Fox&#8217;s whining about <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=49635\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump being suspended on Facebook<\/a><\/strong>. There is simply no way to rationalize their indignation at Facebook when they refuse to accept an honest, paid for advertisement.<\/p>\n<p>Fox has made their position clear: They couldn&#8217;t care less about the police or truthful reporting. They showed that previously when they supported the GOP refusal to vote for a bipartisan commission to investigate the January 6th insurrection. They are too afraid of the truth coming out. But perhaps they are even more afraid of offending Dear Leader Trump.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:blue;\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Twitter recently suspended the News Corpse account after 11 years without giving a reason.
