But some local affiliates say they will not run them. At the ABC affiliate in New York, Art Moore, director of programming, said, "There were a lot of statements being made that were not backed up, and they're talking about hot-button issues."
Reformed convservative Arianna Huffington is running ads throughout the country claiming that gas guzzling SUV's owners support terrorism through the increased profits that go to oil producing states. Some of these countries then supposedly use this money to pay terrorists...
Iffy connection at best but I love her technique for one reason. It undermines those stupid-ass drug money support terrorism commercials. I don't buy a word of it, but I'm especially scared that Art Moore got a conscience about this. Since when does advertising have to be truthful?
