KC Star Calls Talent Out for Twisting Words in Attack Ads

So desperate now for something --anything-- to damage his opponent, Jim Talent is throwing political haymakers that consist of quotations torn deliberately and misleadingly from their context in newspaper stories. The deception has gone so far that the Kansas City Star itself is telling him to cease and desist.

FactCheck.org, a project sponsored by the Annenberg School for
Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, said over the weekend
that Talent in the ads “falsely attributes several unflattering quotes”
about McCaskill to The Star.

“We are formally requesting that the Talent campaign pull all ads that cite The Kansas City Star
as the source for material that is not properly attributed,” Editorial
Page Editor Miriam Pepper said in an e-mail to the Talent campaign.
“The ads imply that these are statements from editorials or reporters.
They are not.”

Ironically, it was Talent who approved radio ads that called McCaskill a "liar and a cheat."
