A free-market think tank in Washington started an ad campaign on Jan. 22 that aims to expose the censorship of scientific debate on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

NBC refused to run a paid 30-second ad by the Competitive Enterprise Insititute (CEI), which criticizes “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd for openly banning scientific debate on the topic of global warming.
