mossCome on, y'all. Showing political ads spreading misinformation on news channels is irresponsible and dangerous. If one side is demonizing a part of your community and calling for their eradication, showing their ads is not bipartisanship, it is cowardice at best.
As they say, if one side says it's sunny, and the other says it's raining, it is not your job as a journalist to report them both, it is your job to look out the window and see who's telling the truth.
Yes, ads are not reporting from the station, but is it okay for a news source to spread misinformation in any capacity? I would say no.
