Laywers for Sen. Bill Nelson have written to Florida TV stations asking them not to air an ad that includes a false claim about Medicare cuts.
From a news release: In the wake of the recent Citizens United case, in which the Supreme Court allowed unlimited and undisclosed corporate money to be spent on such ads, TV stations have a greater responsibility to protect the public from the spread of false and deceptive information, Kendall Coffey, a lawyer for Nelson wrote in a letter to the stations today.
On behalf of our client, we respectfully insist that you take this inaccurate ad off the air immediately, Coffey wrote. As a media outlet, this station has a duty to protect the public from the spread of false information and deliberate deception.
The U.S. Chamber announced the 30-second ad last week and it repeats a widely used Republican claim that Democrats cut $500 billion from Medicare. It wasn't a cut, according to Politifact. It was a reduction in future growth (the size of the Medicare program will increase dollar-wise).

Yeah, it’s all how you phrase it.
Dimwads have a different language and come from a different planet. I’m quite sure of this.
It began long ago in the deepest part of the universe on planet AAA which was a thriving planet before the Dimwads got control and ‘changed’ the name to ‘666’.
There were people in control before the Dimwads and they had the planet in great shape and was about to gain support of it’s people to maintain a peaceful, clean, green, and economical heaven for everyone. Businesses were thriving and hiring like crazy. The people were happy but the Dimwads couldn’t let someone else take credit for anything at all so they lied, cheated, bribed, and did everything they could to gain control. And they did.
But due to the little brained Dimwads power playing, it had to be deserted because of the plague and violence that thrived from their dishonest thuggery and dismissal of enemies from other planets as nothing to worry about. Just pay them to leave us alone. was their thinking. But alas, that would not be the case.
The enemies wanted more and more. After a short while the Dimwads could no longer provide or appease all the leaches. The money was gone.
Only a small handful got away. They threw the others ‘under the bus’, and left them behind.
They went to a new planet called earth.
Laywers for Sen. Bill Nelson have written to Florida TV stations threatening them with the implied loss of their FCC license in a second Obama Administration if they choose to air an ad that includes a false claim about Medicare cuts.
There, fixed it.
“TV stations have a greater responsibility to protect the public from the spread of false and deceptive information”
Oh good!
No Dem ads this year!!!!
If future growth is based upon the growth in the number who will be eligible for Medicare in the future, then that $500 billion is an actual cut in the amount available per person who will become eligible for Medicare.
The games politicians play with stats, and half of them probably don’t understand the stats whether they help or hurt their case.
Bill Nelson, one of my two senators is a worthless piece of crap.
Hey Bill, great job of pushing N.A.S.A. Ya dope.
fubn
The cheese fell off his cracker years ago.
“protect the public from the spread of false and deceptive information”
They couldn’t air any ads from politicians if that were the case!
We miss your WX forecasts!

Billy Nelson and Barry Obumbles...just a couple of bosom buddies, laughing it up on private flight...burning up carbon and plotting the slavery of millions of Floridians upon government programs.

Being from Florida....I cannot wait to see this senile barking moon bat hit the unemployment line....
Amazing that when the lies dems use to attack repubs are used against them.... They whine like little girls...
My, don’t they look....comfortable....with each other. Birds of a feather.
Thank you for reminding me! I do remember Coffey now. It sure does figure he would be Nelson’s attorney, doesn’t it!
I'll have to remember to thank the RNC for helping Nelson re-elected.
“It wasn’t a cut, according to Politifact. It was a reduction in future growth (the size of the Medicare program will increase dollar-wise).”
How many millions of times have the Democrats used that against the GOP??? And you can be certain that Nelson has been one of the worst offenders.
The thing is, they don’t live under the laws they pass and when they depart government, they do not return to the society they left.
Our republic has morphed into an elective despotism.
