WHO-TV Declines Grassley Ad
This is an update on BFIA's earlier post [scroll down] on the ad calling out Senator Grassley for statements he made during health care reform. The ad uses video of Grassley saying, “I've lived off the public tit all these years,”
and when he later used the phrase “sucking the tit of the taxpayer.” WHO-TV is inappropriately taking on the role of the context police by refusing to air the ad saying the quote is being taken out of context. We think the quotes speak for themselves.
Here's the latest from Bold Progressives and DFA
* Over 1,500 people chipped in $35,000 to put it on TV
* Over 28,000 people viewed it on YouTube
* It's been covered by the Washington Post, ABC, the Globe Gazette, Iowa Independent, Huffington Post, and others. All that in only 24 hours!
Now, after talking to Chuck Grassley's campaign, WHO-TV (Des Moines NBC) is refusing to air the hard-hitting ad. Can you help us strike back?
