NBC Refused to Run PETA Ad During Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

Even though NBC’s parent company, Universal, just wrapped their “Green Is Universal” week, which included a serenade by Jimmy Fallon and shout out to bicyclists on Mercy, the network decided not to run one of PETA’s ads during the Macy Thanksgiving Day Parade. The network claims that they want to see proof of the ads’ claims about the poor conditions in factory farms even though the topic has been well documented in everything from The New York Times to The Oprah Winfrey Show. Without proper “proof” NBC decided "this commercial does not meet NBC Universal standards" and refused to run it.
