LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Major U.S. news outlets CNN and National Public Radio will not air paid ads or sponsor announcements for a controversial movie depicting the assassination of
President George W. Bush, citing the film's content, network spokeswomen said on Tuesday.
The movie, 'Death of a President,' caused a stir at the Toronto Film Festival in September where it debuted, and two major U.S. theater chains have declined to screen the movie when it debuts in the United States on Friday.
'CNN has decided not to take the ad because of the extreme nature of the movie's subject matter,' the cable television network said in a statement."
