United States-CBS pulls controversial ad calling for end to Haiti deportations

CBS television has pulled a Times Square Jumbotron advertisement that called for a stop to Haiti deportations because it was “too controversial”. The Center for Constitutional Rights has launched an email campaign calling on the television station to explain its position…The advertisement contains a slogan in block letters: “The cholera epidemic in Haiti is killing thousands. Why is the USA still deporting people to Haiti? One deportee has already died,”…Dickerson said she received an email from the marketing firm, Neutron Media, saying, “The CBS censors have pulled down your creative for being too controversial.”
