NPR won't air ads for controversial film

NPR won't carry sponsor credits for the British film, "Death of a President," Reuters and others report. The movie is presented as a documentary following the investigation into President Bush's murder in October 2007. NPR says the film is likely to generate controversy and news stories, and doesn't want listeners to suspect that coverage is influenced by a sponsor relationship. CNN, which is also refusing ads for the film, is doing so because of "the extreme nature of the movie's subject matter," Reuters reports.
