Kurtz article on campaign ads didn't note falsehoods and distortions in McCain ads

September 24, 2008 5:32 pm ET

SUMMARY: In a report on "ads" that the presidential campaigns paid to air few times, if at all, The Washington Post's Howard Kurtz did not note that at least two McCain campaign ads that Kurtz mentioned included outright falsehoods. Kurtz did not point out that an ad he mentioned included the false accusation that Obama "dismissed" Gov. Sarah Palin as "good-looking" or that a different ad he mentioned falsely accused Obama of calling Palin a "pig."
