Of all the policies that we can expect the Democrats to try to push through during the Obama administration, very few would appear more disastrous than Card Check. Card Check, or as it is called without any apparent sense of irony, the Employee Freedom of Choice Act, would allow mob enforcers union bosses and other strong-armers to exercise power and intimidation over workers by denying them a vote by secret ballot.
So, naturally, any freedom-loving American would be dead against the passage of this act. Which, naturally, means that the Democrat Congress will try to push it through. And CBS is abetting their cause by refusing to show this ad:
Hot Air quotes the following:
“According to our media buyers, CBS officials cited the appearance of Nancy Pelosi as one of the primary reasons for the denial of the advertisement. One CBS representative felt that viewers would be “confused” by its contents within their program,” said Stephen DeMaura, President of Americans for Job Security.
The advertisement will be running on CNN, FNC, CNBC, MSNBC, and FOX.
“CBS executives obviously believe their viewers are not smart enough to recognize the difference between CBS propaganda and American free speech. There is no room on our public airwaves for the coddling of powerful politicians and the censoring of a serious public policy debate,” DeMaura added.
It isn't censorship. CBS is a business and can show or not show whatever ads it wants to. But, if you didn't already, it certainly makes you wonder what CBS' goal is. An informed public is clearly not it.
