"This #media consulting structure comes from a bygone era of commercial #advertising ...

But #political campaign ad buys never modernized. Consulting firm income rises with spending, not with success. A consultant who places $20 million in ineffective ads earns twice as much as one who places $10 million in highly effective ads. The incentive is to maximize spending, not win elections."

"Acton’s brother Philip Stearns also condemned the ad. “It’s not surprising that Vivek Ramaswamy has stooped to such a despicable low as to attempt to turn the sexual abuse Amy endured at 12 years old from our birth mother’s husband into a #political talking point,” Stearns said in a statement.

“After he was arrested and Amy and I were removed from their custody, our birth mother stayed married to Amy’s rapist until he died."

"The worst ad populum fallacy is that both sides deserve equal weight...

Rubbish...

Two weeks from an #election that will determine whether guardrails will be erected against America’s first dictator, and what does The #NewYorkTimes do? Depict it like any other contest between America’s two major #political parties...

This depiction is irresponsible & dangerously fraudulent. Don’t accept it."

This #Cybersecurity Agency Is Supposed to Protect U.S. #Elections. Officials Fear It’s Been Compromised by #Trump.

A few months into President Donald Trump’s second term, #political appointees at the Department of #HomelandSecurity made an unusual request of its agency focused on cybersecurity: Secretly acquire a #voting machine and #hack it.

The appointees wanted the Cybersecurity and #Infrastructure #Security Agency to procure the machine, examine it and report back the findings so they could be given to the #WhiteHouse , according to two former administration officials with knowledge of the request.
