Media Bites – Deconstructing Hoekstra Ads

In this week’s Media Bites we take a look at some of the political ads from Michigan Gubernatorial candidate Pete Hoekstra. We point out several contradictions in Hoekstra’s ads, particularly on economic issues and we provide some information on the groups that have endorsed him. Like most political ads Hoekstra’s are trying to appeal to a particular audience, have limited information on where he stands on issues and no information on his voting record while in Congress.
