“Conservative” is just a smear to the MSM. It has no other meaning except to brand someone as unworthy. To signal to its readership that such a person can be safely ignored.

This is baldly inaccurate. @mtaibbi is not a conservative journalist, as anyone familiar with his work knows.

@dougducey Believe this was in National Review, perhaps a few decades ago.

@EllenLWeintraub Total ad spending in the U.S. in 2020 is $242 billion. So election ads are 14/242 = less than 6 percent of the ads we see in a year. statista.com

@Eric_Spencer I know it's a DNC ad...but I don't understand why that content requires a disclaimer when almost anyone else can say the same exact thing without needing the disclaimer.

@MattFlackAZ Unfortunately, FEC requires candidate disclaimers to be spoken by the candidate. fec.gov/help-candidate…

Opinion: "There's too much money in politics." Fact: "We can't do any math in our heads."

Campaign finance reports were due this week. I thought it fun to share some old reports from 1928 in Arizona. Yep. Candidates had to account for money they spent and received way back in the day. And they probably still completed them wrong without reading the instruction guide.

@EllenLWeintraub What about contributions from one of the US's 13 million non-citizen, lawful permanent residents? That's legal! Why cite 52 USC 30121(a)(2) and leave out (b)(2)? Plus, you're asking candidates to engage in a "show me your papers" interrogation and call the FBI if someone balks?
