Video: The Ad the Media Didn’t Want Delaware to See
It’s one thing to grouse about media bias, and another to confront it head-on. Just in the past couple of days, we’ve seen a CBS affiliate in Alaska get caught plotting how to disrupt Republican Joe Miller’s rally, and now a cable station in Delaware “forget” to air Christine O’Donnell’s half-hour closing argument ad — twice.
O’Donnell turned to a public access television station, Delaware Channel 28. She told supporters at a Tea Party Express rally on Sunday in Wilmington to watch that night at 11:30. “Tell everyone to tune in,” she said at the rally.
“1 minute until the premiere of our 30 minute feature. Tune in to meet all the heart warming people I’ve met on the campaign trail. Ch. 28,” O’Donnell tweeted Sunday night.
AdvertisementBut the ad never aired.
A few minutes later, O’Donnell tweeted: “Okay… this is NOT our show! Must be a programming mix up. We will get back to you…”
The source, who spoke only on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive campaign operations, said the station “forgot to air it.”
Then on Monday morning, O’Donnell’s campaign issued a press release saying the ad would air on Channel 28 at 10 a.m. The candidate tweeted: “The Inspiring TV show about Delawareans will air at 10 aam and 3 pm today on Channel 28. Please watch this before you vote.”
And again, it did not air.
Fool me once, etc. I’m not buying the “forgot to air it” excuse. Not when these “mistakes” keep happening to GOP candidates but not Democrats. According to Hot Air, some readers complained, and the cable station blamed the fiasco on Comcast. I’m not buying that either. Not when the mistakes keep helping one side.
Here’s the ad that Comcast or the staff at that Delaware cable station — or both — didn’t want the voters of that state to see.
Is this cable channel ‘publicly funded’ in any way?
Perhaps O’Donnell should call on Sinclair Broadcasting. As I recall, it was Sinclair that ran the ‘Swift Boat’ story against Sen. Kerry in ’04.
Isn’t that cute??? He’s still Blaming Bush!

But I’m sure the TV station didn’t forget to cash O’Donnell’s check. The turds.
Remember, the GOP is NOT our automatic ally…..
Media elites have in the past admitted that partisan bias in coverage is good for an “automatic 15%” for the Democrats.
So, based on their own admissions, Christine has battled to well within striking range, all on her own, with nothing but abuse not only from the MSM (as we expect) but also from the GOP establishment. Krauthammer and Rove come to mind, but there are others, and they are NOT our automatic allies.
Shame on them for letting the Media dictate the narrative about a Fully Viable Conservative Candidate. She is running a strong campaign in a heavily Blue State, and the GOP establishment stabbed her in the back….
If “we” dont get the Senate, it wont be Christines fault, it will be the GOP Establishments fault for not backing her.
She’s within 10 points….the media claims they provide 15 to the Democraps through favorably biased coverage….She’d be a definite winner IF THE PARTY WOULD BACK HER!!
Even if O’Donnell goes down to defeat it will be a small loss when weighed against all the other much superior candidates that the Tea Party has forced the Republican establishment to run across the country.
People need to pound on this everywhere with the same hype liberals would have had it happened to a liberal: Suppression! Censorship!
Here’s a make good ad as they say in the business that Rachel Peepers whipped up in her kitchen. I hope it makes enough sense to get you to consider the girl SNL and the mainstream media loves to rape.
O’Donnell won’t turn your world upside down, but electing Coons’ll turn your pockets inside out.
Harry Reid’s pet name for Chris Coons is “the puppet” or “the pet” or something with an equally,”he’ll march in step” connotation. Which of course is a reference to Coons promised desire to vote with Obama, if elected, on every taxpayer-raping bill that comes down the pike.
You’ve heard about Coons trip to Kenya during his junior year in college. He talks about it like it was yesterday. And the lessons he learned there about hating the United States he employs today.
Wrote Koons, “In Kenya, I became friends with a very wealthy businessman and his wife and they told me that America was a despicable country; they repeated beliefs they said were held by many in America; that the poor all over the world are lazy and slovenly, uneducated.” They believed America was the fault, that American soldiers were murderers, and Coons began to agree with them as his belief in free enterprise and the boundless opportunities in America dissolved. America was a country to be hated, not heralded.
Anyway, back in America, Coons would dedicate himself to joining forces with Obama type America-haters who wanted to turn America into some kind of European Socialist model; to redistribute America’s wealth while sabotaging America’s free enterprise system any way possible. Which Coons felt required getting into government, the fastest and most effective way to soak the wealthy with taxes and create social programs that would hand out money like there was an endless supply of it. Private enterprise, which created jobs, was the enemy. Creating government make-work jobs was the model because they would add nothing to the GNP; only create workers who depended on the Democratic Party for their livelihood. And so would vote Democratic.
Coons start at his Marxist scheme wasn’t perfect, but he did start doing some of the damage intended. “He became the top executive of New Castle County, home to a majority of Delaware’s population. From a Republican perspective, there’s one really important thing to know about his time in office: In 2004, when Coons first ran for the job, he promised not to raise taxes. Since then, he has raised taxes not once, not twice, but three times.
“Coons inherited a surplus. Celebrating victory on election night in 2004, he said his “top priority would be to continue balancing the budget without increasing property taxes,” according to an account in the local News Journal. As executive of New Castle County, in Delaware, Coons promised voters he’d keep taxes down.”
Of course, a lie from a Marxist mouth isn’t a lie at all because the extremes equal the means.
“Once elected, Chris Coons rose taxes like they was going out of style. In 2006, by 5%; by 17.5 % in 2007 and by a whopping 25% in 2009. He loves taxes. Byron York tells us “he has proposed to raise hotel taxes, paramedic taxes and something heretofore unheard of; a proposal to raise taxes on 911 calls. It was all included in Byron York’s report in The Washington Examiner.”
I hope that York will continue to review Coons’ record. The entire mainstream press is at work on O’Donnell, digging up any kind of dirt on Christine they can find. If they don’t find it, they pay old dates to slander O’Donnell. But the date Coons has is with the voters, November 2, which may signal an abrupt end to his slobbering love affair with taxing citizens to death.
Coons just may have lied to Delaware voters once too often. The Frequent Liar Miles he’s accumulated are incalculable. Coons raises taxes like rabbit families raise rabbits.
I think this is well done. The emphasis on Kent and Sussex may pay off. I left Delaware in ’84 (UofD ’79) and reside in Arizona, but if I could vote for Christine I would no doubt. I think this treatment of CO is going to backfire and I project she wins Nov 2. Get out to vote !!!!!!!!!
You don’t have to worry about those farmers, Barry Soetoro has a tens of thousands of those who say they couldn’t farm due to racism just waiting to get a government subsidised farm dropped in their laps. See? Barry has it all thought out, he’s looking out for the smallest of small farmers, those who have never farmed but who always liked to play with little toy cows and toy tractors!!
Now, that’s looking out for the little guy (the right sort of little guy that is).
Regards
Once we find out who is responsible for this not airing, they will feel the full brunt of “we the people”. Alternative media is going to make this very well known. Thank GOD for the internet!
This is an outstanding political ad. I hope the voters of Delaware have been able to see it. It is just incredible what the leftists in the media are doing. It makes me very angry. Rise, patriots, and take our country back! Revolution!
THE STATION SHOULD BE FORCED TO PLAY TWICE THE NUMBER OF TIMES IT WAS SCHEDULED FOR…IF THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE, THERE NEEDS TO BE A HUGE FINE IN THE MILLIONS.
THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE SHOULD BE FIRED!
I liked the ad quite a bit, with the huge exception of seeing Michael Steele included. His endorsement rings hollow to me.. he’s just jumping on the bandwagon. Kind of like watching Biden marvel at Obama “grabbing the lightening”… impressed by the power, even if he doesn’t really get where it comes from. Did the GOP machine pay for this ad and therefore include Steele?
The Tea Party candidates who make it to Washington need to have backbones of titanium, stand firm and remake the GOP from within, or else we are all screwed.
I wonder whether the station can be sued? It’s sounds like there was a binding agreement and money was paid. Pleading incompetence isn’t really a great defense.
Left/libtards at Naional People’s Radio… free speech only applies to their candidates and views!
I got a little more information about how this scheme engineered by the White House with the help of his union thug butt buddies went down. In this piece, I describe it. Obama’s so corrupt it stinks to high heaven. I’m so mad I could bust a gut. Here goes.
Delaware TV stations keep “forgetting” to run crucial Christine O’Donnell ads. I kid you not.
What would Obama do if TV stations kept on “forgetting” to run crucial 30 minute ads two days before an election? He’d have a cow. He’d send in the Delta Force. He’d go bonkers. He’d call them unAmerican. Well, that’s exactly what’s happening to Christine O’Donnell. Obama people are so panicked over the Coons boy losing to Christine that they sent thug union “visitors” to all Delaware TV stations. Nothing written. Nothing by phone. “Here’s what we wantcha to do: forget to run her 30 minute ads. Or else.”
Corrupt, dirty, filthy Chicago style pizza politics. That’s what happens when you elect a bum from a Chicago neighborhood.
There’s something very wrong when the Democratic party lets voter intimidating Black Panthers go scot free; when the President calls political opponents enemies who, if they disagree, he threatens with hand to hand combat; when his attorney general calls white males racist cowards (even the ones fighting for our country overseas in wartime; they’re cowards).
There’s something very wrong when Obama nominates admitted bigots and U.S. Marine Corps haters to the supreme court; when terrorists are given white glove treatment and tried in civilian rather than military courts. Now, instead of life, many of them are looking ahead to a matter of months in the pen when they all deserved sentences that ended with death.
There’s something very wrong when Obama likes the idea of forcing seriously wounded GI’s to pay for their stateside medical treatment with their own private insurance.
There’s something very wrong when Obama squanders almost 2 trillion dollars of taxpayer money; when Obama jams socialized medicine down the throats’ of a nation that is threatening to throw it out; when the metaphors Obama uses about cars being driven into ditches are so ass backwards. In less than two years, Obama has driven this nation precariously close (to the tippy toe edge) of a bankruptcy cliff; when Obama, though his tacit agreement, obviously believes that a Victory Mosque is an appropriate way to honor the memory of those brave Muslims who flew planes into the Twin Towers, killing almost 3,000 Americans.
The vote may not be the most satisfying way to drive Democrats out of office, at least for me. But tomorrow is the big day. Let’s rock n’ roll.
Sorry, was there some kind of proof of something in there? O’Donnell could have run a six-hour marathon of her gushing non-sequiters and it wouldn’t have helped. She’s a complete idiot, bat shit crazy. Gee, sorry she didn’t get elected.
She may yet pull it off. I live in Toronto, Ontario, Capital of Ontario and Canada’s largest city. It was widely predicted that the liberal left candidate for Mayor would win on Oct 25. Instead it the conservative, Rob Ford, who won by 15% and the voter turnout was over 50% – never happened before in my lifetime for municipal elections. All the best from the land to the north.
Sue the station that “forgot” to air the paid-for political ad. Sue them for every dime you can get and publicize every minute of the discovery, the pretrial hearings and the trial by way of VOD on a web site. Hope she wins and cuts their federal money.
Shame on channel 28 . May the Lord Bless Christine with success and a good man for a husband .
