"Liberal Media" TV Station that rejected ad is Jesse Helms' old roost
WRAL-TV is the station that has refused to run this ad, and it has been owned for decades by very conservative guys who hired Jesse Helms to do editorials in the 1960s (which is how Helms went from a behind-the-scenes political sleezebag to a Senate-office occupying sleezebag). It just shows how far to the right the NCGOP is...the (conservative, good old boy) Democrats still control state-level politics here (despite this being a solid red state for federal offices), and the GOP is a little more wing-nutty here than in most states where there is more competition.
