    Who Cares? Everyone is tired of the campaign ads everywhere and just wants this thing over by this time. Are you just out for attacking Republicans or do you want to expose truth in elections? If that is your purpose, how about exposing the truth about unions paying members to hold signs for Democrats at rallies?

    Has anyone at the paper done an investigation as the the bonafides of Malloy’s minor campaign participants? I doubt it.

    What a hatchet job on Foley by left-leaning Connecticut News. These are not “recycled from other campaigns.” These are commercially-available stock footage shots that are used by ALL campaigns EVERYWHERE, left- or right-wing, because no campaign except national campaigns has the money to produce all-original footage. The point is to illustrate what the narrator is saying.

    What makes this so ugly is that the liberal operative from Connecticut News knows SO WELL what this footage is (and the fact that all campaigns use it) that (s)he even knows where to find it. Of course if I took the time to identify the stock footage items in Democrat spots nationwide, suddenly they would cry foul.

    What’s the problem Ken?
    It looks like Foley’s campaign is being fiscally responsible with his taxpayer supplied funding by using stock footage instead of wasting taxpayer dollars just to shoot brand new footage of the same scene.
