But I didn't mean to imply Lies or criminal activity, the operative word was "Specious"..........

Last post by claws - November 07, 2025, 06:19:24 PMOk, weird that AI wouldn't pick up on that. Asked about these Advertising controversies:
QuoteContext on post-election advertising
Not unusual: Politicians often run ads after elections to shape public perception, defend their record, or prepare for reelection. These ads can look like campaign ads even though they're technically "issue ads" or "constituent communication."
Legal distinction: As long as the ads are funded and disclosed properly, there's nothing inherently illegal about them. Federal election law allows elected officials to advertise outside of campaign season, provided they follow disclosure rules.
Why it feels controversial: To critics, it can seem like unnecessary self-promotion or "spin" rather than governing. Supporters might argue it's part of keeping constituents informed.
So the main claim is about post-election advertising, which is indeed something Spanberger did, but it's not unique to her and not considered misconduct.

What kind of news media did you work for and what did you cover? (If only they had a punk rock beat, you'd have been ideal for that byline!)
I was never a reporter (though that had been the plan when I was in college), instead I got into the news biz in the early 90s doing behind-the-scenes production stuff (page/section layouts, typesetting, pre-press prep, ad trafficking, etc.).
I initially worked for a group of small NJ weeklies, which were then bought by the Bergen Record in the late 90s. The Record became part of the Gannett/USA Today network in the 2000s until they too were bought out by Gatehouse Publications (narrowly beating out a takeover bid by the MNG/Alden Capital hedge fund, the subject of the above documentary).
Then came the pandemic, during which the Powers That Be decided that it would be cheaper to have some dude in Mumbai, India do my job via remote (yes, seriously) and offered me a buy-out, which I accepted and ran for the hills!
All in all I managed to survive 28 years in the print media biz, which is pretty impressive (or so I'm told). I have no regrets. It was fun while it lasted, and hey, I can say that I got to watch the collapse of a great American industry in real time, from the inside!

Seen this couple of times on dvd and thought it was ok.
Now that I bought DTS Laserdisc I found the movie boring and unintresting. Couldn't make it till the end.
Money well spent.
Final Approach
Bought this because of CDS-soundtrack and the movie sucks. Two people conversating with loud flashbacks. It all sounds really good but that`s it.
Movie ends while I was writing this and really don`t care what happens in the end.
Kinda Red Letter Media Best of the worst-quality.

Stupid 90s action movie and still so entertaining and good (Renny Harlin-proof).
Arrows 4k is top notch release. If you have Dolby Atmos-home theater, get this release.

Last post by LilCerberus - November 07, 2025, 02:51:04 PMAbigail Spanberger (D) is a former member of The House Of Representatives from Virginia.....
Her policies & votes are pretty much a forgone conclusion, & most people can live with that.
One thing about elections, win lose or draw, is the next day, when you no longer have to sit through political ads.....
Spanberger didn't get this message, and after assuming her seat in the house, continued putting out ads trying to polish her image........
Pretty darned annoying.........
