So it IS a political thing!!

This is from the press release from CBS:

"Because this commercial touches on the exclusion of gay couples and other minority groups by individuals and organizations," reads the explanation from CBS, "and the fact that the Executive Branch has recently proposed a constitutional amendment to define marriage as the union between a man and a woman, this spot is unacceptable to broadcast on the [CBS and UPN] networks." (italics mine, added for emphasis)

Similarly, a rejection by NBC declared the spot "too controversial."

So our networks are no longer a free agent in the world of news and politics? This just shows how closely our networks are tied with more powerful people who determine what news to report and how that news is viewed or not viewed. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!!
