RedState: "NBC backs down on Freedom's Watch ads"

RedState's latest post on the Freedom's Watch ads that were banned by NBC:

Scott at Power Line reports that NBC has backed down (or "has decided to amend its standards and practices") from its refusal to air the Freedom's Watch holiday ads thanking the troops.

Good news, indeed! Read the entire post here.

NBC lawyer who nixed troop ad is a dem donor

H/T to Jerry at From On High for calling attention to RedState's post about the NBC lawyer who was part of the decision for NBC's refusal to air the Freedom's Watch ads thanking American troops during the holidays.

NBC Lawyer who nixed troop ad gives generously to Congressional Democrats (from redstate.com):

According to a Fox News report, Richard Cotton, the general counsel for NBC/Universal, was one of two network officials who decided not to sell ad time to Freedom’s Watch, which describes itself as “a nonpartisan movement dedicated to preserving, protecting, and defending conservative principles and promoting a conservative agenda.”

According to FEC records, Cotton has been a generous donor to Democrat campaigns and liberal causes. Earlier this year, he donated $1,000 to the political action committee (PAC) of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and last year gave the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) $7,000.

Over the past decade, Cotton has contributed at least $45,000 to Congressional Democrats, including $2,000 each to Clinton and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC). (link)

As Jerry said, "Are we surprised?"
