Seems the pea-brains over at the Peacock have changed their mind on airing the Freedom's Watch holiday thank you to the troops:

WASHINGTON — NBC reversed course Saturday and decided to air a conservative group's television ad thanking U.S. troops.

The ad, by the group Freedom's Watch, asks viewers to remember the troops during the holiday season. NBC had refused to air the ad because it guides viewers to the Freedom's Watch Web site, which NBC said was too political.

But in a statement issued Saturday evening, NBC said:

"We have reviewed and changed our ad standards guidelines and made the decision that our policy will apply to content only and not to a referenced Web site. Based on these amended standards the Freedom's Watch ad will begin to run as early as Sunday."

You can view the ads here and here, and you can read the full story at Fox News.

Hmmm....an organization that supports the troops is too political? No, no agenda in the media.

At least they decided to do the right thing, a rarity in the media these days.
