O'Reilly claimed "Fox News turns down blatantly anti-American ads," but that's not the reason Fox gave for rejecting CCR ad

SUMMARY: On The O'Reilly Factor, Bill O'Reilly stated, "Fox News turns down blatantly anti-American ads. We just turned one down recently." Fox News recently refused to air an advertisement produced by the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) that claims the Bush administration is "destroying the Constitution" through its use of renditions, torture, and other tactics. However, in an email provided to Media Matters by CCR, a Fox News account executive told CCR that Fox would not run the ad "with it being [narrator] Danny Glover's opinion that the Bush Administration is destroying the Constitution. If you have documentation that it is indeed being destroyed, we can look at that."
