Networks Refuse to Air Darfur Ad

NBC, CBS and ABC have all refused to air this advertisement, which takes the news arms of those networks to task for covering stories like Michael Jackson and the Runaway Bride while hundreds of thousands are killed in Darfur. The ad, sponsored by BeAWitness.org, is an important reminder that America's news organizations are giving short shrift to Darfur while focusing on mindless stories of celebrity silliness.

You can also read the rejection statements from the networks' DC affiliates. Shameful.
