Columbus Dispatch reported DeWine has new ad "assail[ing] Brown on taxes" -- didn't mention state of Ohio says ad is false

SUMMARY: In reporting that the re-election campaign of Sen. Mike DeWine (R-OH) had agreed -- in return for "millions of dollars" from the Republican National Committee -- to air "much tougher" ads against DeWine's opponent, Rep. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), including "a brand-new commercial" that "assail[s] Brown on taxes," The Columbus Dispatch made no mention of the fact that the ad's attack on Brown for not paying "an outstanding tax bill for 12 years" is "false," according to a state official.
