Fox News has refused to air an ad produced by the Center for Constitutional Rights that criticizes the Bush administration for "destroying the Constitution" by the use of renditions, torture, and other tactics. The ad, "Rescue the Constitution," which is narrated by actor Danny Glover, can be viewed here and here.

In an email provided to Media Matters for America by the Center, Fox News account executive Erin Kelly told Owen Henkel, the Center's e-communications manager, that Fox would not run the ad:

11. Why aren't we tired of this crap and file a LAWSUIT..

they are a public service station. They have the responsiblity to run public service announcements or ads as long as they are not vulgar or offensive. So why doesn't someone file a lawsuit to have their license pulled. IS EVERY BODY AFRAID OF THE S.O.B. STATION.
