Fox has also pulled the racist Trump ad:

That racist Trump ad WAS running on Fox News, but not anymore: "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 president Marianne Gambelli says.

Exactly. They would only pull it if they thought it did more harm than good for the GOP.

Trump’s campaign manager just put out the ad again on Twitter. The one that’s been pulled by all TV channels for being racist.
