Thank you for your recent e-mail concerning State Farm’s advertising on the Fox network.
We have a policy of not advertising on political or opinion programming. We have corrected this issue and have taken steps to make sure it does not happen again.
Understanding our millions of customers and thousands of associates hold a full spectrum of views on political issues, State Farm has a long-standing practice of not advertising in political discussion programming regardless of a program’s political point of view.
Because of the recent situation, State Farm is now evaluating its commercial placement practices to ensure its political issues advertising guidelines are maintained.
Thank you for your e-mail and your continued support of State Farm Insurance, both are greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Jairon L. Wills
Executive Customer Service Supervisor

This is, in my opinion, an above average response, though it does not say whether they have removed their ads from Fox News Channel, or just political shows.
