INSIGHT RUNS ADS, DESPITE OBJECTIONS FROM REPUBLICANS
[SOURCE: Multichannel News, AUTHOR: Linda Moss]
Cable operator Insight Communications is running an ad on its Kentucky systems critical of U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), the display of which was delayed by objections from Republican party officials. Insight was publicly branded as a censor late last week by the organization seeking to place the ad, the Public Campaign Action Fund. That national non-partisan organization, which wants public financing of elections, linked an initial hesitation to run the ad on the part of the cable company to donations to McConnell made by Insight CEO Michael Willner.
