And if it's white nationalism and misogyny that get reported, it's not considered a violation of their standards.
Even Fox News has pulled this one.
Edit: Facebook is allowing it to air, but not allowing it to benefit from "paid distribution," of the advertising. Also, now that I know which ad they're talking about, the 30 second spot that aired during Sunday Night Football last night, my blood is fasterisking boiling.
Oh look... more of Trump's "good people."
GA High School Principal Apologizes After Marching Band Spells Racial Slur with Instrument Covers.
Now that members of his student body have seen fit to spell out a racial slur, they're going to take a crack at installing some sort of policy toward what is and isn't appropriate at a halftime show, and maybe have a review process put in place, or something.

Facebook has finally removed the ad.

Context
Journalists (even so called "journalists" like Hannity) have no business getting on stage at political rallies and speaking on behalf of a candidate. Let alone using that platform to declare all other journalists "fake news". Hannity is a revolting example of humanity. His show is even more deliberately inflammatory than the President is, and anyone listening to him is damaging their own intelligence.

Also, he looks like someone drew a tiny face on their thumb.
You don't have to tell me - the last time Hannity's face was voluntarily on my TV screen was when Geraldo was out in a boat saving people from Hurricane Katrina, because CNN was sitting on the sidelines with their thumbs up their butts talking about celebrity gossip on HLN instead of covering the flooding. I wouldn't say that CNN has improved one bit since then, but watching Fox plummet past them at breakneck speed in the race to the bottom must have at least been exciting for some people.
It isn't a comment on the news, it is a statement of intent.
Trump told the mayor of Pittsburgh during a call for an update - DURING the shooting situation and/or immediate aftermath, while the mayor was still trying to figure out how to get enough trauma centers set up and see to the 11 dead - that "I think they should very much bring the death penalty into vogue."
Saw that one over at BoingBoing as well. Why would someone need to trademark so many generic phrases in China? Oh, right...because in the USA you can’t trademark generic phrases, and because businesses and businesspeople have been using WIPO to do an end run around this fact by taking their (invalid in the USA) complaints to WIPO, hoping it can be convinced to exert its regulatory pressure on their opponents in the international arena, and “win” a case that could not have been brought in America.

Trump is completely unhinged at this point. Trump unloads on CNN journalist Jim Acosta: 'You are a rude, terrible person'
How is that a racist question?
It's not. Your President is a lying liar who lies.

Rosenstein is already a non-issue. The only reason he was taking part in the whole thing was because Sessions recused himself. Now that a new AG has been sworn in, said AG takes over the investigation oversight.

Donald doesn’t understand that Mueller has already farmed out significant portions of the investigation to other federal offices and state offices. Firing Mueller won’t kill the investigation. It won’t stop it. The Democrats can subpoena everything, anyway, and even hire Mueller themselves.
I'd assume not. "Indictment" is just fancy talk for a criminal charge, the sort of thing that ought to be in the hands of law enforcement, not politicians.
*sigh* For the President and certain other elected officials, they technically need to be impeached from office before they can face criminal charges from law enforcement.
The constitutional text sets down both a procedure to be followed for impeachments and a substantive standard by which impeachments should be judged. Procedurally, an impeachment can be brought by a majority vote of the House of Representatives against any civil officer of the federal government. In practice, the House investigates whether impeachment charges would be warranted. If it determines that charges are warranted, articles of impeachment are drafted that specify the various charges against the officer in question and those are voted on by the whole House. Once the Senate receives articles of impeachment from the House, it organizes itself into a court. Senators take an oath to do “impartial justice according to the Constitution and the laws” when sitting as judges in that court, and the chief justice of the United States presides over the court in the case of an impeachment of the president. The House appoints managers to prosecute the case before the Senate, and the impeached officer is entitled to present a defense. At the conclusion of the trial, the members of the Senate must vote on each individual article of impeachment. Conviction requires a guilty verdict from two-thirds of the participating senators. Upon conviction, the Senate may impose a punishment of removal from office or disqualification from any future federal office.
Jim Acosta of CNN has been suspended from being able to enter the Whitehouse after Trump blew his stack at him for asking questions when called upon. Trump looked like an utter goon madman.

They lie, lie, lie.
Jesus Christ.
Oh, Rosenstein is no longer in charge of the Mueller investigation. Temporary goon in charge can and will cover shit up.

Somehow, I don't think this is what CNN was trying to convey when they kept running that ad of the little girl eating the apple and then telling people not to repeat stories and to stick to facts.
