Neither do we

Kein Tag ohne erschreckender Meldung zum amerikanischen Kampf um die richtigen Werte.

Jeff Jarvis, denn ich nur wiederholt zur Lektüre empfehlen kann, schreibt dass CBS und NBC einen Werbespot der United Church of Christ nich senden will weil darin folgendes gesagt wird:
Jesus did not turn people away. Neither do we.

"Our policy is we do not do advocacy ads," said Alan Wurtzel, who heads NBC's program standards division. " 'Jesus didn't turn people away, neither do we.' That message clearly implies that other people do."

Jeff dreht das ganze um und denkt die Argumentation zu Ende:
Oh, so will it soon be too "controversial" to say that the Statue of Liberty welcomes all people? Will be be amending Emma Lazarus? If we're taking huddled masses, are we implying that someone else must be rejecting them? What happens if a few dictators complain? Get out the sandblaster! And while we're at it, let's get out the WhiteOut for the Declaration of Independence. "All men are created equal?" We can't let a church say that! Too controversial.

Den Spot gibt’s hier: Stillspeaking.com

Dachte nicht dass ich mal für das Senden eines Werbespots Partei ergreifen würde...
