jeebus msnbc- ads for scientologists?

this i prolly the cable provider, direct tv, but i cant believe they have no control over ads on their channel.
why there is even a scientology channel in the first place, i dunno. i guess it shows how stupid we are.
but i want to throw a brick at my teevee.

If so, msnbc likely has zero control over that.

Certain spots are open to ads from providers regardless of the show

is for "documentaries" about anti-depressants, and some "people's tribunal" or some such.

Emperor Klaktu, grand exalted dictator of Rigel VII, will not be pleased with your negative attitude. Probably the engrams.

i know this is the cable providers prerogative, but there must be some sort of control provision for msnbc.
i mean, i just ignore/fast fwd through the talking bible commercials on joy reid, but there has to be some line here.
