Does Fox run DNC and other pro Obama ads?

Because I sure see a lot of RNC and anti-Obama ads on MSNBC. The most scurrilous imo is for that terrible excuse for a movie "2016: Obama's America." It's pure extremist bullshit and runs on MSNBC prime time all the time.

Btw this particular one chaps me because the RNC has effectively halted release of the Osama Bin Laden movie until after the election, even though it is not by any means an Obama-centric film. In fact, I don't think he's even mentioned. But they're so against any whiff of anything good happening during the Obama administration that they've managed to back it off until December.

But I digress...

are run by your cable and satellite provider - not MSNBC or Fox. I haven't noticed many pro-Obama ads on Fox but I'm sure it happens because buying ads through providers rather than the channels directly is a common practice for political ads. I'm think that's because it's cheaper that way.

I've noticed this season there's been many more anti-Obama ads overall. Makes sense since Dems are getting outspent and, of course, Citizens United.
