Corbett's 1st TV Ad: Old Stock Footage and a Quote from an Op Ed by a Special Interest Group
http://www.keystonepolitics.com/2013/07/corbetts-first-re-election-ad-exposed/Excerpt of review:
"Today, Tom Corbett’s campaign released a web ad, his first for the 2014 campaign, but from the looks of it, his advertising firm BrabenderCox didn’t invest much time in their client, maybe with anticipation that he’d soon drop out of the race.
The ad recycles 2010 footage and uses a litany of stock video. It cites a headline from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, giving the impression that the newspaper’s editorial department produced the piece, when instead it was an op-ed written by a special interest group.
The only other positive citation they could find was from a pro-business special interest group with deep connections to the governor, who also happen to be donors."
