NBC and Fox News pull Trump immigration ad after backlash

NBC came under fire for airing the commercial during its Sunday NFL coverage of a game between the New England Patriots and the Green Bay Packers.

By Claire Atkinson @ NBCNews.com, Nov. 5

NBC and Fox News said on Monday morning that they would no longer air an immigration ad from President Donald Trump that has been widely derided as racially divisive.

"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," said Joe Benarroch, a spokesperson for NBC's advertising sales department.

NBC came under fire for airing the commercial during its Sunday NFL coverage of a game between the New England Patriots and the Green Bay Packers.

The decision to run the ad quickly drew criticism on social media, including from actress Debra Messing, who stars in the NBC comedy "Will and Grace."

"I want you to know that I am ashamed that my network aired this disgusting racist ad," Messing tweeted. "It is the antithesis of everything I personally believe in, and what, I believe, our show is all about."

The ad aired 18 times across multiple networks including Fox News and Fox Business Network, according to advertising tracking firm iSpotTV, which noted it also aired on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Monday morning.

Shortly after NBC made its announcement, Fox News said it had decided on Sunday to stop showing the ad.

“Upon further review, Fox News pulled the ad yesterday and it will not appear on either Fox News Channel or Fox Business Network," Marianne Gambelli, president of ad sales for Fox News, said in an emailed statement [....]

Especially interesting the baby steps for Fox. As the affiliated cable news are all motivated by money in their editorial too. Are all the SNL parodies et. al. of the ridiculous level of Fox News spin starting to hurt? CNN is truly more and more earning the "fair and balanced" branding. Which is the reason Trump bashes it, it's more dangerous? After all, Trump fans don't chant "MSNC sucks". Even Melania is known to prefer CNN...whether she is watching because she thinks it more dangerous to hubby is the unanswered question.

One thing along these lines that I have often pondered is why nobody has ever chanted "Murdoch sucks for supporting The Simpsons".

Things that make you go hmm: Trump's campaign is promoting Sean Hannity as a "special guest" at Monday night's midterm finale rally. Fox says Hannity is there to interview Trump, not campaign https://t.co/FJcRd3cRL7

for those who didn't catch it, Saturday Night Live's opening skit last night parodied Fox propaganda on "the caravan", with a special emphasis on Ingraham and Pirro (rather than taking the easy way with Hannity)

SNL’s Fox News parody cold open isn’t far off the real thing

Saturday Night Live amped up the Fox News caravan hysteria … slightly.
