damn misleading campaign ads
national politicsFact Check debunks yet another political ad that uses some of the same old distortions of truth. I’ve covered the difference between out-and-out lying and using dirty tricks to mislead, but really, should we have to tolerate either?
One thing I like about Fact Check is that they don’t just pick on Republicans. They pretty effectively trashed one of Kerry’s anti-Cheney ads as well.
I do find it pretty funny that they had to debunk the claims that Cheney made about their debunking the claims that Kerry’s ad made. They refute claims made by both VP candidates, but it appears that Cheney made more misleading claims than Edwards. *sigh*
