Political ads: If it’s mostly true, good enough

For most every accusation made in a political advertisement, there is a cry for the accuser to take it back. Rare is the attack ad that doesn’t elicit denials and calls to set the record straight. Rarer still is the ad that actually gets pulled from the airwaves — usually over a detail, not the message itself.
