IN-02: Chocola Gets TV Stations To Yank Ad Against Him
Politicians often claim to be misrepresented in attack ads, but Rep. Chris Chocola has now managed to get one yanked off the air. The South Bend Tribune reports that Chocola has persuaded two local TV stations to ax a DCCC ad that attacked him for opposing a minimum-wage increase while accepting automatic pay increases. The Chocola camp insisted he had voted for the minimum wage —that is, in that recent bill which tied a minimum-wage hike to proposed cuts in the estate tax. But Dems say the ad was referring to another vote—a roll-call vote urging House-Senate negotiators to include an increase in a job-training bill. Local stations WSBT and WNDU sided with Chocola and killed the ad.
