The David Horowitz Freedom Center is frustrated that many college papers are refusing to run his ad, The UC-Santa Barbara Daily Nexus reports.
The ad, “Stop the Jihad On College Campuses,” says the Muslim Student Association recruits and supports speakers who “are calling for the execution of gays, the killing of Jews and support the terrorist jihad against America.”
The Daily Nexus, though, agreed to run the ad.
““I am glad the Daily Nexus has chosen to run this ad because we really don’t have a free press in this country anymore,” Horowitz said. “Several college papers have chosen not to run it, including the Daily Collegian at Penn State and many others. The censorship of America’s college newspapers is a major issue of our time.”
The Daily Nexus abides by a strict separation between its editorial and advertising departments in order to maintain objective reporting. Opinions expressed in ads do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Nexus staff,” the article states.
