You won't see this ad on Channel 10, 7 or 9. Perhaps you'd like to see it here.
GetUp says
"Channel 10 said outright on the phone that they wouldn't run the ad because it criticises another media outlet. Lachlan Murdoch is on the company's board. We're sure the two are totally unrelated.
Channel 7 refused the ad because "the creative execution was considered distasteful and potentially offensive to our audience, so we have decided to make a stand." So noble. We created a new version of the ad with the 'offensive' bits blurred out. They didn't respond.
Channel 9 at least approved the ad, and ran it for four days. In fact, 615,800 people have already seen it on 9 across Brisbane. On Monday, they pulled the ad, and blamed it on a "coding error," saying it never should have run. Whoopsadaisey."

Don't know about Lachlan Murdoch. don't care tbh
ReplyDeleteWhile he R. Murdoch has too much power at the moment not his fault btw the world let him get that way.
Traditionally R. Murdoch seems to have been a mercenary who supports who he likes at the moment and/or one who he thinks would make life easier for him.
it didn't matter which party just who he likes. eg. If he thought the greens were better than the rest and would not interfere with his dominions he would support them.
Think of him not as a businessman rather as a feudal lord who wants to preserve his fiefdom and will support whatever liege who will make that so.
Having said that i most certainly don't like or support him
