Misleading Campaign Statements?


So the Daily Pilot and Publisher Tom Johnson have very thin skins, and are apparently very Politically naive.

Question:

WHEN ARE POLITICAL MAILERS NOT MISLEADING????

Please...you guys don't remember former Assembly Candidate Cristi Cristich sending one out saying that then-Congressman Chris Cox was supporting her, when he wasn't. Alicia Robinson even wrote about it in your paper.

Or how about, during the same campaign, mailers coming out saying that if Chuck DeVore was elected, he would bring a gambling and prostitution to the area.

And who can forget that Halloween themed one the Leslie Daigle campaign sent out in 2006 against then (but already dropped out) challenger Barbara Venezia.

So the people who don't want a White Elephant in their park misrepresented the Daily Pilot's views.

WWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!

By the time these two articles came out in the Daily Pilot, I have not received the flyer at my home yet.

But when it came, because of those two articles, I made sure to study and examine it, more carefully then I usually would.

Congratulations to the Daily Pilot and Tom Johnson.

If it weren't for their articles "advertising" the flyer, I wouldn't have read it as closely (not that it would have changed my vote anyways...).

There is no such thing as bad press right?
