Citizens Benighted, Chamber of Horrors Dept. 0
Donald Luzzatto, writing in my local rag, is fed up the the U. S. Chamber of Commerce’s ad campaign on behalf of George “Macaca” Allen:
When another political commercial interrupted running or diving or soccer, he had had enough: “How can they say that?” he asked, incredulous. “It’s just not true!”
This kid is no innocent. He knows how to consume media with skepticism and doubt. But he also knows there are rules about what people selling stuff can say. Because of that, he’s unaccustomed to straight-up lying from TV commercials. Let alone from guys who want to be president or a senator.
