NBC shows its ture feelings

So it is being reported the NBC has decided to cave into the pressure and run this ] pro troop ad. Earlier they had refused saying it was and issue ad but is that the real reason?

Now it’s no secret that NBC leans to the left just as FOX leans to the right, that’s fine it balances out. However, I do want to know why NBC refused to air this ad at first. It is not pro war or pro Bush so I do not see what the problem was. Maybe their hate for Bush blinded them.

Doubtful. CNBC is the most (fiscal) conservative 24/7 news channel, MSNBC is the most liberal. They seem to keep it fairly balanced.

Denying the add, was probably for other reasons then a bias.

Perhaps someone at NBC was tired of duping our sons and daughters into fighting the corporate sponsored war in Iraq.
