Scott at Power Line reports that NBC has backed down (or “has decided to amend its standards and practices”) from its refusal to air the Freedom’s Watch holiday ads thanking the troops.

Is it merely a coincidence that this public reversal came just over three hours after the Majority Accountability Project, on this site, revealed that “the NBC lawyer who refused to allow [the ads had] donated at least $45,000 to a host of Congressional Democrats, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, New York Senator Hillary Clinton and the campaign committees of House and Senate Democrats”?

I prefer to think not. Either way, though, the ads are going to get the airplay that they deserve this holiday season — a good result however you view this case.
