An ad for an Oscar-nominated documentary on Naziswarns that history can repeat itself, but its unclear whether Fox News viewers will get to see it.
According to The Washington Post, MSNBC has decided to run a tweaked version of the 30-second ad, which is set to air during The Rachel Maddow Show. The revised spot now includes a title card noting the films Oscar nomination.
The Post also confirmed that CNN will air the ad during The Situation Room With Wolf Blitzer, though it is not clear whether it will be the original version without the title card, which was rejected by Fox.
The film, A Night at the Garden, walks through a 1939 Nazi rally that took place at Madison Square Garden in the heart of New York City. At the end of the black-and-white ad, a line of text flashes on the screen, cautioning, It can happen here.
