MSNBC WON'T RUN BOYCOTT TARGET AD

MSNBC IS BULLSHIT! MSNBC is refusing to air MoveOn.org's ad to boycott Target over their support of anti-gay organization PAC MN Forward and their attempt by them and other other corporations now to buy elections. The Minnesota Independent reports:
"MSNBC and its parent, General Electric, refuse to air MoveOn.org’s ad calling for a boycott of Target, stating the spot doesn’t 'comply with NBC’s ‘Controversial Issue Advertising policy,’ because the ad is a direct attack on an individual business.' (In fact, the ad referenced 'Target and other corporations.') The advocacy group had purchased a week of airtime in Minneapolis and nationally on MSNBC, according to a MoveOn.org release. The ad accused the Minneapolis-based big-box retailer of 'trying to buy our elections,' but shied away from mentioning more controversial aspects of Target’s recent political dealings: a $150,000 donation to MN Forward, a PAC that supports a GOP-endorsed gubernatorial candidate known for affiliations with anti-gay figures and opposition to marriage equality."
Well, I'LL RUN IT AND HERE IT IS. Pass it on to everyone you know.
