WARNING: SHORT DIARY!!!!
Just got a note from State Farm, slightly more strongly worded that the one posted here yesterday.
Looks like they are aware of it, and ACTING!
Dear ****,
Thank you for your recent e-mail concerning State Farm’s advertising on the Fox network.
We have a policy of not advertising on political or opinion programming. These ads were mistakenly aired, we have corrected this issue and have taken steps to make sure it does not happen again.
Understanding our millions of customers and thousands of associates hold a full spectrum of views on political issues, State Farm has a long-standing practice of not advertising in political discussion programming regardless of a program’s political point of view.
Because of the recent situation, State Farm is now evaluating its commercial placement practices to ensure its political issues advertising guidelines are maintained.
Thank you for your e-mail and your continued support of State Farm Insurance, both are greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
********
Executive Customer Service Supervisor
State Farm Insurance
Emphasis is mine.
State Farm is doing the right thing, and taking a neutral stance, I have also contacted Apple as an evangelist/developer for that company, with similar complaints. I'll let you know if I hear back from them.
WAY TO GO GUYS!!!!
