NBC, Fox News and Facebook have all announced that they will no longer allow President Donald Trump’s anti-immigration re-election ad that CNN refused to run, deeming it “racist.”
NBC aired a shorter version of the ad during “Sunday Night Football” over the weekend, and subsequently on Monday that “After further review we recognize the insensitive nature of the ad and have decided to cease airing it across our properties as soon as possible,” according to a statement made by NBC Universal to Politico.
Fox News issued a similar statement, with president of ad sales Marianne Gambelli telling The New York Times, “Upon further review, Fox News pulled the ad yesterday and it will not appear on either Fox News Channel or Fox Business Network.”
Facebook said it would remove the ad due to its policy “against sensational content,” though users can continue to share the ad themselves.
"CNN has made it abundantly clear in its editorial coverage that this ad is racist,” the network’s communications team tweeted on Saturday. “When presented with an opportunity to be paid to take a version of this ad, we declined. Those are the facts.”
