Fact checking the ads The ad that has aired the most — more than 45,000 times — is from Harris’ campaign and is heavy on her background. It echoes her convention speech, portraying her as growing up working class, was raised by her mom and points out that she worked at McDonald’s. It then pivots to health care and housing costs while criticizing Trump for his tax cuts that skewed toward benefiting the wealthy.
The ad with the most money behind it — $25 million — is an anti-Harris ad from a super PAC supporting Trump, MAGA Inc. It attacks her on her record on handling immigrants in the U.S. illegally during her time as a prosecutor.
But a charge in the ad, while it has a kernel of truth, is misleading. Her office convicted Edwin Ramos, a member of the MS-13 gang, for the murder of a father and two sons. Ramos is now serving three consecutive life sentences. Following through on a campaign promise, Harris did not seek the death penalty, a decision conservatives have criticized.
The ad also alleges that Harris “let” Ramos “go” on another crime before he committed the murder. The facts on this are complicated. Ramos had been pulled over for illegally tinted windows and no front license plate. The passenger in the car, Erik Lopez, got out and ran. Police saw Lopez toss a gun into a gutter. Both men were arrested. But Harris did not bring charges against Ramos because, as the San Francisco Chronicle reported per Harris’ office “there was no evidence that Ramos had known that Lopez had a gun.”

I didn’t know inches were a negative measure.
Are they fact checking ads which criticize Kamala, but not fact checking Democrat ads which criticize Trump?
She is not ahead people. This is NPR blowing bullshat.
Harris is attempting to run as a moderate conservative - if elected she would rule as a commie thug.
The corrupt MSM helped Biden by pretending his shills who told us he was sharp as a tack were telling the truth. And that they - the press - were too stupid to figure out Biden was having major problems.
This is the same. The press will bankrupt themselves and destroy their profession to get ‘Miss Slept Her Way to Get Top employment Positions’ elected. No talk about how people who work for Harris quit in droves... nope the MSM is in full protection mode.
Didn’t an NPR reporter just admit to openly lying about a meeting between President Trump and Bibi??
Thought so....
The cavalry comes to Trump’s aid?
Didn’t NPR know, that liberals have told us we aren’t to use any violent or militaristic metaphors? Remember after Gabby Giffords was shit, we were lectured on that very subject?
If Harris were really inching ahead, she wouldn’t be coopting Trump’s positions.
Most reasonable people know this, just the concerned few are concerned
Didn’t NPR know, that liberals have told us we aren’t to use any violent or militaristic metaphors? Remember after Gabby Giffords was shot, we were lectured on that very subject?
****************
Well played.
the cavalry comes to Trump’s aid on the airwaves. Who is coming to the aid of who?
“Are they fact checking ads which criticize Kamala, but not fact checking Democrat ads which criticize Trump?”
Yes. They mention her main ad under “Fact Checking the Ads” but then they don’t fact check it. They only fact check Trumps ad. Unbelievable!😠
Remember 70% of the people don’t know who she really is or what she stands for. So what is the best option for her campaign team to make for a ghost candidate? Of course make her look closer to a MAGA mirror image and pull the wool over the people. That’s the reason why her camp is stealing all trumps ideas because they know that the people don’t know who she. She has not given an interview and she doesn’t want to do the debate …what for? The DNC demonic snakes are doing all the work for her while she hides under a rock! Reason why her poll numbers are high. And they will keep her under the rock until November 5 you can bet on it count on it bank on it she ain’t gonna do no debate or interviews from here on. She keeps going up in the polls because she’s keeping her mouth shut. So don’t count on an interview or a debate. It’s not going to happen.
The Hollowoody Weirdos spend a fortune buying the U.S. Government for the Jamaican and Injun refugees.
Only NPR and the liberal media push the lie that Kamala Harris is gaining ground
But lies work on the low-I.Q. crowd
Her ad says that Trump has no plan to help the middle class. His entire platform is pretty much geared to protecting and saving the middle class.
Besides raising taxes and doing everything else imaginable to hurt the middle class democrats are trying to do things like eliminate single family neighborhoods.
As Harris inches ahead..... Snicker
RIGHT—————EVERYBODY lets someone into their car with a gun & “DOESN’T KNOW ABOUT IT”.......
Indeed, it’s a jolly good thing the Reagan Administration didn’t monitor Pravda.
And it was wise that the Allies never read any of the Reich’s newspapers.
