Excerpt:
Two US networks are refusing to air a slick, highly confrontational ad by a group protesting plans for a mosque near Ground Zero in New York, US media reported Thursday.
The ad takes a radical stand against the "monstrous 13-storey mosque" which supporters bill as a chance to heal post-9/11 tensions and which so far has support from New York City officials.
US media, including the Politico website, quoted sources at NBC and CBS networks saying they were refusing to screen the video, titled "Kill the Ground Zero Mosque."
