Breitbart: The Fox News Channel has pulled a Trump-approved campaign advertisement about the migrant caravan marching towards the U.S. border after CNN and other left-wing media figures labeled it “racist.”
“Upon further review, Fox News pulled the ad yesterday and it will not appear on either Fox News Channel or Fox Business Network,” ad sales executive Marianne Gambelli told Mediaite.
NBC also said Monday that “after further review,” it will stop airing President Trump’s campaign advertisement that includes footage of Luis Bracamontes, a twice-deported immigrant from Mexico sentenced to death in California for killing two police officers.
The advertisement aired on Sunday Night Football and on MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Monday, triggering a massive backlash from left-wing activists and journalists. CNN rejected the same ad, declaring it “racist.”
The Hollywood Reporter claims the ad “draws comparisons between Central American immigrants seeking refuge in the U.S. and one man convicted of the murder of two policemen.” Further, the outlet wrote of the ad:
The spot was swiftly denounced on Wednesday by pundits who compared it to the 1988 “Willie Horton” campaign ad that supported then-candidate George Bush. Attacking challenger Michael Dukakis’ prison furlough program in Massachusetts while he was governor, the ad cherry-picked an incident in which convicted felon Willie Horton raped a woman while on furlough, and has been widely denounced as racist in years since.
Facebook also announced that the ad would be blocked from its paid promotion network, citing its policy against “sensational” content. “This ad violates Facebook’s advertising policy against sensational content so we are rejecting it,” Facebook told the Daily Beast. “While the video is allowed to be posted on Facebook, it cannot receive paid distribution.”
Donald Trump Jr. on Saturday criticized CNN for refusing to air the ad, tweeting: “CNN has made it abundantly clear in its editorial coverage that this ad is racist. When presented with an opportunity to be paid to take a version of this ad, we declined. Those are the facts.”
In an official statement, the Department of Homeland confirmed the basic premise of the ad — which is that there are dangerous individuals in the caravan. Nearly 300 migrants in the caravan are known convicts and gang members, including child sex abusers, Breitbart News’ Bob Price wrote over the weekend. more here
“Racist” the nitrogen bomb of politics. It’s really wearing thin!
Fox………..I used to watch that quite a while back but they went south and joined the others.
Fox can suck it!!
It’s not racists, it’s the truth, and fake news can’t air truth. However, those curious will want to see the ad and search it out for themselves. In a way it is free advertising for Trump.
Huh-ungh? It’s not like Fox is run by “Welcome Rapefugees” wymyns, with their own armed security squads. Just like…
What? Oh. Never mind.
No wonder the leftists always use the racist card, they get a lot of mileage out of it from those with no back-bone.
Smart ad. It drew so much attention it doesn’t matter what they do with it now.
Going with controversial works.
Chicken crap I say!
Must mean the ad was too true to view!
Now there’s a guy that needs to be treated with a dose of lead applied directly to the brain pan.
This is a token gesture by Fox. The ad ran a lot and everyone that was going to see it saw it. Job done. Also, the caravan seems to be breaking up on its own.
Here’s an idea:

Let me guess, Shimp Smith reached into his diaper and started slinging poo while throwing a tantrum?
The truth is soooo poisonous to the left.
If these media outfits allowed any ads for national office, then Trump/Republicans should go after these media for violation FEC laws.
Grab them by their pussies!
Maybe start tomorrow?

Today is election day so fuck ’em.
I predict a dramatic decrease in campaign ad revenue effective later tonight.
There was nothing racist about that ad. There was nothing racist about the Willie Horton one either.
Dukakis took the hit when asked how he would respond if it was his wife or daughter raped and murdered. In typical Democrat fashion, he did not convey that he cared either way. That is what hurt him.
The Horton ad with a photo ran exactly once in a limited market and they are still butthurt over it 30 years later.
I thought those faggots liked their butts hurting.
Detective Michael Davis and Deputy Sheriff Danny Olivers widows and family members do not consider this commercial racist. Neither do Sacramento and Placer Sheriffs departments.
Murdock has always been, and remains, a liberal/progressive GOP. Fox pushed Romneycare 2.0 very hard 9 years ago. Even had Mitt on 3 times a day from 2/09 to 6/09 to tell us how great ACA was!
Fox is only a little bit mor liberal then CNN. Big diff – CNN is lib Dem; Fox is lib GOP.
If Fox goes completely belly up, or ass up, to liberal culture and politics, where do we turn? Fox is losing its testicles.
The dirtbag murderer deserves a lot worse than a Republican campaign ad.
