O’Reilly: Fox News Turned Down Pro-Constitution Ad Because It Was ‘Anti-American’

The Center for Constitutional Rights recently produced an ad called “Rescue the Constitution” that criticizes the Bush administration for “destroying the Constitution” through the use of tactics like renditions and torture. Fox News refused to air the ad, claiming that it needed “documentation” that the Constitution “is indeed being destroyed.”

In the ad, actor Danny Glover states, “Trials. Renditions. Torture. The Bush administration is destroying the Constitution. They can be stopped. Rescue the Constitution.”

Yesterday, while discussing NBC’s recent refusal to run an ad from the White House front group Freedom’s Watch, Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly explained why Fox News turns down ads:

Yeah, but I understand why. Fox News turns down blatantly anti-American ads. We just turned one down recently. I understand that.

1. Destroying the Constitution IS American, dammit.

War is peace, love is hate, water is dry...

You know the drill. Now shutup and get with the program.

2. Freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength...

Sometimes I think O'Reilly doesn't really think the way he talks. Its part of an elaborate money-making hoax, isn't it?:shrug:

3. We can hope...

though I must admit to it being fairly hopeless.
