Was just watching the President on Leno and right in the middle of

[doc03]

his conversation about voter suppression an ad about 10 seconds long about Obama taking away our second amendment rights (approved by Mitt F----g Romney) came on. Someone
at the network or the station had to have patched that in. It wasn't a commercial break
it was right in the middle of his conversation. Did anyone else experiance that?

1. not here in Chicago!

[doc03]

4. Must have been a Rethug in the local station

control room.

[Tigress DEM]

2. Hmmmm. That sucks.

[oswaldactedalone]

3. Had to be a local station gambit n/t

Didn't see it here in NC.

[doc03]

7. Must have been they played the same ad in the commercial break a few minutes later. n/t

[MgtPA]

5. Didn't see it in Philly.

[amuse bouche]

6. No and I've seen

that inane NRA ad so many times in Fl, I want to pull my hair out

[doc03]

10. First time for me, of course I haven't been watching local

TV much so I don't have to hear them. Probably a Rethug at the station.

8. Where in Oregon?

If it's a fairly small / rural area, the local station may have been commandeered by a worker.

[doc03]

11. Ohio and you are no doubt right about that n/t

[mucifer]

9. It could just be one republican asshole working with the tapes in the studio.

[Connie_Corleone]

12. Local station probably.

That ad came on I think after that segment here in Cincinnati.

13. Im guessing it was your local station

I'd call and give them hell. It also wouldn't hurt to contact NBC to let them know, I'm sure they wont be to happy about your local station interrupting their program.

[spanone]

14. not here, someone fucking with the prez

[MADem]

15. In Boston there was a three second -- no longer than that -- view of a brick wall.

Also right in the middle of the conversation....I had time to say "What the hell...?" and it was back on POTUS.

[doc03]

16. You're joking? n/t

[MADem]

19. No, I'm not. I had just enough time to feel the outrage start to come up,

you know, like the furnace heat on a cold fall day, and boom--the POTUS was back on screen.

I was enjoying the interview so much that I "got over it" but I thought it was a sucky thing. Who knows, though--maybe the people at the switch prevented something that was even "suckier"--if that's a word!

[defacto7]

17. It's against FCC rules.

Big fines... gotta sniff out the rats.

[Marie Marie]

18. Oh I'm sure that it was a mere coincidence.
