UT ClearChannel Station Refuses Run Sheehan Ad

A Utah television station (owned by ClearChannel) is refusing to air an anti-war ad featuring Cindy Sheehan, as a nat'l sales rep for KTVX, a local ABC affiliate, rejected the ad in an e-mail to media buyers, writing that it was an "inappropriate commercial advertisement for Salt Lake City." KTVX said that after viewing the ad, local managers found the content "could very well be offensive to our community in Utah, which has contributed more than its fair share of fighting soldiers and suffered significant loss of life in this Iraq war." Good to see that Utah likes being kept in the dark about why their loved ones are serving, huh? And Cindy responds to all of the hate mail she receives from people who tell her to "Go home and take care of her kids" (all of which, are adults and have their dad to rely on if they needed care). Funny, but nobody ever tells Bush that he needs to stop gallavanting around the ranch or the country and go take care of the Drunken Twins, now do they?
