Boise TV Stations Refuse to Air Sheehan Ad

HeadlineAug 24, 2005

Meanwhile in Boise, the CBS and Fox affiliates are refusing to run an ad featuring Sheehan. An official at CBS’s KBCI said QUOTE “Sheehan accuses the President of the United States of being a liar. She claims the President lied about, among other things, the presence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. There is no proof that we are aware of regarding the truthfulness of her claim.” Earlier in the week the ABC Affiliate in Salt Lake City refused to run the same ad claiming that it could “be offensive to our community in Utah.”
