(Bloomberg) -- Fox News joined NBC in pulling a controversial TV commercial about the migrant caravan after an online backlash that included protests from Hollywood celebrities.
The ad, backed by President Donald Trump, was pulled from Fox News airwaves on Sunday, according to Marianne Gambelli, president of ad sales for the network. It will not appear on either Fox News Channel or Fox Business Network, she said in a statement on Monday.
NBC also said on Monday that it was yanking the spot.
After further review we recognize the insensitive nature of the ad and have decided to cease airing it across our properties as soon as possible, Comcast Corp.s NBCUniversal said in an email.

It's already been shown. Should have banned it before it was aired.
