KOAT-TV PULLS FALSE ATTACK AD

False and Misleading Ad By Teague Supporters Pulled Off Air

HOBBS, NM – KOAT-TV confirmed today that it was pulling an ad off its airwaves by Teague supporter and liberal attack group, Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund.  The ad, which began airing Thursday, contains blatantly false statements about Steve Pearce, which were documented in materials provided to stations airing the advertisements.

“We commend KOAT-TV for removing this false and misleading ad.  It is clear Teague and his special interest allies want to wage a false and misleading campaign to avoid explaining Teague’s record of failure on jobs,” said Pearce campaign spokesman Jason Heffley.

“These false ads were an attempt to reward Teague for his votes for job-killing policies like cap and trade. Now Teague has nothing to hide behind” said Heffley.

The ad cited a report by CREW, which later admitted it botched its investigation. Furthermore two years ago, newspapers examined these charges and also said they were false.  Even the Democratic Chair of the House Ethics Committee signed a letter saying Pearce followed the law.
