TV station rejects pro-Johnson ‘cow manure’ ad

OK! Now we are starting to have some fun!

The pro-Ron Johnson super PAC Let America Work said Monday that a Milwaukee television station has refused to air an ad that includes an image of a steaming pile of cow manure and use of the word crap.

Let America Work senior adviser Graham Shafer called the decision by WISN-TV (Channel 12) “political censorship at its worst. It’s also comical hypocrisy.”

A notation of “copy unacceptable” was written in the ad file by a station employee.

I don’t have a whole lot of problems with the word crap and I hear it in public quite often…but I don’t think it is that common on very many over the air public media outlets. So I understand WISN-TVs reticence to air the ads. Clearly not doing so will cost them some money.

But here is where the real fun starts:

Shafer said: “When compared to the off-color language and indecent images that appear on WISN every single night, our ad is very tame.

He forgot to mention that most of the off-color language and indecent images are coming from their republican candidate for president…
