Brewer campaign cancels KPHO ads, attempts to discredit Loew.

Here's another recent clip from the Rachel Maddow Show covering the ties between Jan Brewer, private prisons, SB 1070 and the Brewer campaign effort to retaliate against Phoenix's KPHO and Morgan Loew for their investigative reporting on the issue. Brewer's people pulled all advertising from KPHO due to Loew's investigation of her CCA ties. Sounds like an attempt at censorship to me.

I've seen an awful lot of similar stuff across the rest of Arizona's media, however - can't imagine that Brewer can afford to pull advertising from all of them, or that she might expect to find someone who won't be critical of her if that's her criteria for where to advertise - maybe a FOX news affiliate?

Anyway, if KPHO won't be indoctrinating Arizona with any more Brewer ads, maybe that's where we should all be going for news...



For those of you who prefer the print version, here's the Phoenix New Times' Feathered Bastard's coverage of all this from the night before the above airing of the Rachel Maddow Show.
