A group of antiwar advocates is accusing Clear Channel Communications, one of the nation's largest media companies, with close ties to national Republicans, of preventing the group from displaying a Times Square billboard critical of the war in Iraq. The highly controversial concept, a message merely stating "Democracy Is Best Taught by Example, Not by War" was turned down by the fascist Clear Channel.

PR Watch reports, A Clear Channel marketing executive explained that New Yorkers "are extremely sensitive to references to war." A peace group spokesperson remarked, "I guess we can have a war, but we can't talk about it."
