Editor,
They’re assaulting our intelligence again — negative ads on TV. The black and white blurred photos of opponents that make them look like Halloween ghouls. The false statements that don’t reflect what the candidates truly stand for. They would be laughable if it weren’t true that they are effective.
They place a grain of doubt in the mind of the voter and may even flip votes against a candidate they had been considering. If you have a question about the position or background of a candidate, look to trusted news sources, listen to the debates, call the headquarters of the candidate in question, and find out for yourself if the allegations are true.
During the primaries, I was almost swayed by a negative ad, until I found out that it was run by an outside firm. Trust your own judgment, not the ads. And vote on Nov. 6.
