One of the three major media conglomerates that banned display of WND’s “Where’s the birth certificate?” billboards more than a year ago has changed its tune.
CBS recently began wooing WND’s business, with one of its agents explaining that opposition to the campaign has crumbled in light of the deep recession within the outdoor advertising industry. However the agent also discouraged the idea of any news coverage of CBS Outdoor’s second thoughts.
In response, Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND, said he has no interest in taking up CBS on its offer – and neither will he consider any offers from the other two members of what he calls “the billboard cartel” that
banned the campaign when he launched it in May 2009.
“CBS, Lamar and Clear Channel all took a position in opposition to this campaign claiming it was somehow deceptive,”
reminded Farah. “Since then, and in large part due to this campaign, the eligibility issue has captured the imaginations of a majority of the American people. Therefore, CBS, Lamar and Clear Channel are going to have to live with the consequences of their decision to ban legitimate, constitutionally protected political speech. Until those companies issue a public apology for their inappropriate decision, WND will not entertain any idea of bringing its business to them. We have found we don’t need those companies to get the message out. We would prefer to work with media companies that respect the First Amendment and those that are not intimidated by politically motivated speech regulators in Washington.”

Good for you Joe, WE are winning the fight.
This is a shameful act of violating the law by a man who refuse to obey them and yet is allowed to hold a office such as POTUS, to continue to flaunt and mock "all men are equal in the eyes of the law." The elitism and arrogance is sickening as well as flagrant, should a ordinary citizen perform such a act the penalties would rain down upon them and serious consequence would not be spared. There is no room for mocking Constitutional law and the courts know this.
obumma will never release his legitimate birth certificate. Maybe we need to hold his feet to the
fire to make him do it.
Even if you were right, how do you propose to do that?
How about a congressional investigation by the new congress? Yes Jim, the one the progressives won't control will investigate a lot of things especially those things we write in and demand they investigate.
You can hope, but I have my doubts. Obama won't give Congress anything he doesn't want to give them. He'll stiill be in office at the beginning of 2013–and probably at the beginning of 2017, especially if people choose to spend their time on silly distractions.
Pay backs are a Bit*#
its about time it came to bite them where it hurts!
LOL, Thank you Mr Farah! I'll send in another donation just because you made my day today.
Finally, a man with a back-bone! Love it and thank you!
GO WND's business! Go JOE, GO!!!
