Banned NBC Commercials Supporting Our Troops (Video)

I am posting these two videos from Freedom’s Watch that NBC recently refused to air for two reasons:
1. I believe they need to be seen regardless of whether NBC disagrees with Freedom’s Watch
2. I think it’s great that any organization would spend money to air “Thank You”s to our troops like these and despicable for a network such as NBC to refuse to play them.
You would think that these videos would have to be from a radical group like MoveOn.org from them to be censored but no, they are from a group that describes their organization on their website with this statement:
Freedom’s Watch believes in limited government, low taxes, less regulation, free enterprise, and more personal responsibility.
Abominable stuff if you ask me…..

Here’s the article and the explanation NBC gives. Their reasons for originally refusing the spots are weak at best but…

not as if it was hard for Freedom Watch to just edit out the part where they flash their URL. from what I’ve read, they had plenty of notice to do so, but like it says in the link provided by Nathan, it’s almost as if they deliberately did not comply with NBC policy just to get attention

Say, whatever happened to that commercial featuring Danny Glover that Fox News refused to air? Can I assume you’re just as incensed about that?

Anyone who thinks Freedom Watch has no other agenda other than “thanking” the troops is an absolute idiot and anyone who claims otherwise is a liar.
