It's CBS !!
Did you expect them to do anything different.
Rather and his henchmen hate republicans, conservatives, swiftees and anyone who supports us.
That's OK 'cause I've got CBS blocked out on my TV receiver. |

Wouldn't FCC and FEC rules REQUIRE CBS to sell them ad time if they had the money and the ad time was available? Any lawyers out there know?

I would love to hear why CBS decided not to run this.
The facts speak for themselves.
Pretty simple message. Mondale and Kerry are two birds of a feather. |

Here's a press release on a CBS affiliate's refusal to run the ad:
http://www.thestakesarehigh.org/news/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=1471
| Quote: | | Washington, Oct 28 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE—(October 27, 2004) WUSA, the Gannett-owned CBS affiliate in Washington, D.C. has refused to run a :60 commercial produced by Americans for Peace Through Strength, a pro-national defense 527 political organization during Sunday’s “Face The Nation” broadcast, because they say the spot is “misleading.” |
Maybe if the 527 had provided a couple of "face but accurate" memos...

It shows Kerry's voting record on military spending and is truthful. Thats the misleading part. It points out the lies Kerry is telling on all his campaign stops. MSM does not want the truth known. If this was anti Bush it would be on every MSM station. They do not even try to hide their bias any more.

| Quote: | Calling it "misleading," a CBS-affiliate TV station in Washington, D.C., rejected a commercial that uses clips from a film about President Reagan's tough stand against totalitarianism to highlight Sen. John Kerry's consistent opposition in Congress to strengthening Ameria's defense.
As WorldNetDaily reported, the new documentary "In the Face of Evil," has inspired a campaign ad produced by the 527 group Americans for Peace through Strength.
The 60-second ad is running Sunday through Election Day in battleground states, on cable news outlets and the Internet. It features the 1984 Reagan-Mondale debate, in which Reagan points out Mondale's opposition to every proposed defense program. The spot gives many examples of how Kerry's record has mirrored the Minnesota senator's.
"Senator Kerry's voting record on national defense is a matter of public record and there is nothing misleading about it, as WUSA implies. You can't deny the facts," said Phil Anderson, executive director of Americans for Peace Through Strength.
"We are running this ad campaign to spotlight the stark differences between the leadership President Reagan provided to win the Cold War and Senator John Kerry's lifetime commitment to weakening our national defense."
As WND first reported, the feature-length documentary is based on Peter Schweizer's acclaimed best-seller "Reagan's War: The Epic Story of His Forty Year Struggle and Final Triumph Over Communism." The film recounts how Reagan arose in the middle of the bloodiest century in history -- with as many as 200 million dead victims of totalitarian regimes -- and called evil by its name, resolutely declaring in the face of scorn that the world had no other choice but to crush it.
The ad, "Footsteps of Giants," was a reaction to Kerry aligning himself with Ronald Reagan in the first presidential debate.
It's designed to show how Kerry opposed many, if not all of President Reagan’s defense programs during his administration, including Reagan's strategic plan to destroy the "Evil Empire."
During the Sept. 30 presidential debate, Kerry said, "We need to rebuild our alliances. I believe that Ronald Reagan, John Kennedy and others did that more effectively, and I'm going to try to follow in their footsteps."
Kerry aligned himself with Reagan several more times in subsequent debates.
"This commercial is targeted to Reagan Democrats. Those Americans who crossed party lines to support a pro-defense Republican during the cold war's moment of truth -- the1984 election," said Stephen K. Bannon, the writer and director of "In The Face Of Evil," who also directed the television commercial.
Bannon said all other cable networks and broadcast media have agreed to run the ad.
"WUSA is balking because the commercial is devastatingly effective," he said. "We know it … they know it and the public knows it." |

I found this. Maybe they have to give access to candidates but not other groups....
| Quote: |
"Current law requires broadcasters to treat political candidates more favorably than other advertisers, including not only commercial advertisers but also political parties, political action committees, and other noncandidate political organizations.
First, broadcasters must give candidates for federal office "reasonable access" to the airwaves. Although public service time would legally suffice, stations also provide opportunities to buy commercial time.[66] Second, broadcasters must give all candidates in a given election equal opportunities to purchase commercial time--even if doing so requires them to preempt commercial advertisers.[67]
Third, broadcasters must sell the time at a so-called lowest-unit rate--that is, the lowest rate charged for an ad in the particular time slot--even if other advertisers must buy multiple ads to qualify for the discount.[68] A commercial advertiser might have to buy a hundred spots in order to get the lowest-unit rate; a candidate qualifies with just one spot. In practice, however, campaigns are wary of relying too heavily on these bargain-basement ads because they can be preempted by higher-paying advertisers. In the 1984 West Virginia gubernatorial race, incumbent Arch Moore's campaign learned that Clyde See's campaign was using lowest-unit-rate time slots exclusively. The Moore campaign offered a higher rate for time that could not be preempted and managed to destroy See's ad schedule.[69]
These rules are statutory rules, created by Congress, and are not, of course, constitutional doctrines. Accordingly, Congress could repeal them. If it did so, and broadcasters were free to treat candidates' ads like other ads, then the number of political ads would decrease. Prices would rise once broadcasters were free of the lowest-unit-rate requirement, and many broadcasters, including the three networks, probably would reduce the airtime they allot for political ads, especially in prime time. As a Harvard study pointed out, political commercials are most numerous at the time of year when some of broadcasters' best customers, auto manufacturers, want to introduce their new products.[70] Indirectly, then, Congress could eliminate many candidate ads."
