#2 My hypothesis: NBC recognizes that the Vichy Chicks' stupid conspiracy movie is a niche market and will have the effect of alienating mainstream voters in the upcoming election.
Short version: they think it will backfire on the Donks.

#4 We are in the period pre-election during which IIUC those ads would be construed as political announcements.

That has some implications re: allowing GOP response, I think (but I'm not a lawyer).

but if not, my vote goes to the "don't help the Republicans" theory.

#5 And if the donks win the election NBC will understand that GE is a big defence contractor that needs lots of government contracts and NBC's loss is mitigated by its government licensed television and radio stations.

#6 I''m all for them running it. We need a little more seething and anger on the right. Nothing gets out the vote more. Just look at 1994 as an example. Only 2 years of non-stop lies and BS motivated the right in droves. We've had 6 years of it this time around, and the lies are bigger and the BS is deeper than it ever was. Somehow though, I don't sense the same level of anger and frustration among conservative voters that I felt in 1994. We need a little negative reinforcement.

#7 This is all bullshit. NBC loves to hate Bush where they can because they will make MONEY at it. Their bottom line is nobody cares about the dixi bitches and no one will watch, no one will buy time, hence no money from advertisers. Who would really concider buying time from NBC if it aired?? Not even the Donks are that stupid, ok well maybe, ok all right but they could not buy all the time.

#8 Amen mcsegeek1, the more the Hollywierd crowd howl at teh moon the more Coservatives are movtivated to vote. Notice I didn't say vote Conservative because Conservatives either vote for a Conservative or they don't vote at all. Play the ad and let the good times roll.
