| Once Again The MSM Say The Public Don't Like Negative Ads |
| 2004-09-27 |
| COLUMBUS, Ohio — Key voters in this key state don't like and don't trust many of the TV ads that President Bush and Sen. John Kerry have spent more than $300 million to air this year......Negative or attack ads fared worst... Negative ads work. People love them. But trying to get them to admit it is like trying to get them to admit that they look at pornography and enjoy it. |

| #7 So are you saying the ultimate political ad would have Claudia Schiffer, wearing Victoria's Secrets, lying on silk sheets, whispering "I Love Bush"? |

| #5 The public probably doesn't like ads at all (unless, for the male viewers, there are some hot chicks in them). |

| #3 Well, there are negative ads, and there are negative ads. The ones about Kerry not earning his medals or whatever are just annoying and not helpful. Those talking about Kerry's voting record in the Senate are "negative," but are talking about his position(s) on the issues, so actually serve a purpose. |

| #2 Depends how they are offered. I like a little humor. The grim, dark ads that claim "Senator X voted no on Proposition L. Why does X want seniors, policemen, and baby duckies to die?" are obnoxious and stupid. On the other hand, the John Kerry weather vane ad was f*cking hilarious. |

| #1 Yeah? And the PUBLIC doesn't like forged documents used to smear in a "news" report. But the PUBLIC has little to say about the way the newrooms are run either... |
