Apparently, NBC is now an extension of the White House press office.

NBC is refusing to air an ad for the new Dixie Chicks documentary, "Shut Up & Sing." Variety reports, "NBC's commercial clearance department said in writing that it `cannot accept these spots as they are disparaging to President Bush.'"

Follow the link and watch the ad. This is what NBC is afraid to run. It's pathetic.

On the web: Shut Up and Sing

Thanks to NBC, this controversy will help sell even more movie tickets.
