CBS is standing by its decision not to run the ad, a network spokesman said.

"No one will ever have the right to do that," said Seth Palansky, a network spokesman.

The show is still in production and has not been scheduled, a network spokesman said.

A network spokesman says it was a "judgment call."

The statement did not elaborate, but network spokesmen explained that the network had little choice.
