Channel 9News gives Jane Norton’s ad its ‘Truth Test’
On FaceBook, U.S. Senate candidate Jane Norton says the negative ads that backers of Ken Buck are running against her have been found by 9News to be untrue. And she links to 9News’ ‘Truth Test,’ which doesn’t discuss the ads that are attacking Norton. Instead, the ‘Truth Test’ evaluates a TV ad being run by Norton. In that ad, she claims that she controlled spending in Colorado, but 9News says, “This isn’t true and here’s why.” Read the whole post and you’ll probably conclude that Norton has stretched to find “savings” that she could claim in response to Taxpayers for Liberty’s ads, which falsely accuse her of inflating government budgets. Both Buck and Norton need to be honest with voters. Basically, 9News is saying Norton hasn’t had the power to increase or cut government spending during her bureaucratic and political careers.
