It is one thing to see tasteless political attack ads on TV. But it’s even a sadder thing to know there are clueless people out there who believe these reckless political advertisements. Who out there believes this stuff? Once again, “Viewer bewares.” There is no consumer agency in place to protect the naïve TV viewer.
Just as George W H Bush and George W Bush to their party opponents (Bob Dole and John McCain), Mit Romney is perpetrating the same on Newt Gingrich. Lies and exaggerations. I’m certainly not saying Newt doesn’t deserve everything he gets but to do this is almost immoral as well as unethical.
Law should forbid TV and radio attack ads. Just talk of your own accomplishments and attributes. Show the voter why they should vote for you. Come to think of it, some candidates have no attributes or reasonable resume. Just a slanderous monologue.
The federal government should require by law a disclaimer to be placed the beginning of every political ad. Just to lest the viewer or listener know that there just might be some over statement or under statement about an opponent. Here is an example to place as a disclaimer:
“The voice you hear and the person’s lips you see moving just might be redesigning the truth about his or her opponent.
Or:
“What you believe is what you get”
Anyway, good luck. Remember the “Grain of salt” rule. However, when it comes to cooking up an omelet, use plenty of salt and pepper. Whaaat!
