From Politico’s Glenn Thrush:
CNN has agreed to air an ad cut by America’s Voice and Media Matters calling the network out for running the Lou Dobbs show.
The voiceover: “Every afternoon, CNN airs 60 minutes of anti-immigrant hate.”
The spot, which will run on October 21 and 22, during CNN’s heavily promoted Latino in America series, will hit Dobbs for his “His forced retraction of a smear about the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce” and his “unwavering defense of his show’s wildly off-base leprosy reporting,” among other things.
UPDATE: Huffington Post reports that CNN will not, after all, air the Drop Dobbs advertisement. According to Huffington Post: “A spokesperson at the network told the Huffington Post that they would not be running it on the national network, though there is no word yet as to whether local affiliates would, or could, carry the spot.” Read more here: CNN Scuttles Anti-Dobbs Ad
