The president of the media company continued blasting the \u201cdishonest\u201d actions that damage the company\u2019s brand reputation.\u00a0 \u201cThey lied to every single person that saw that ad. It\u2019s misleading, it\u2019s dishonest, and it hurts us as the company, our news brand.\u201d Hallstrom outlined how they are considering legal action.\u00a0 \u201cSo as of today, we\u2019re starting to make some calls here. We are considering all of our options here, including legal action,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Hallstrom continued, blasting the deceptive practice. \u201cWe never wrote anything close to what is alleged here.\u00a0 They took two different unrelated stories that we did have on our website, sort of mashed them together, and then from there, they rewrote a few words to make it look like our news organization was cheering on the selection of Walz,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve heard the excuses about how this meets the approval of the Google Ad criteria people, and I don\u2019t care,\u201d the managing partner maintained. \u201cWhen you see that ad, you may understand that it\u2019s an ad, that any reasonable human being would look at that and say, \u2018Oh, the campaign, they found a story or headline on a website that\u2019s good for them. Who would not use that? Who wouldn\u2019t use that?\u2019 But that\u2019s not what happened here.\u201d<\/p>\n
He emphasized, \u201cThere are things that are right and there are things that are wrong, and this clearly is wrong. This is clearly leading, it\u2019s clearly deceptive, it\u2019s dishonest, and it was done obviously recklessly without thinking about what\u2019s really happening here. And I don\u2019t know who on the Harris staff made the decision that this was a good strategy. But I can\u2019t believe that on the whole that that organization, that campaign would, top to bottom, feel like this is a tactful and a principled approach to getting the word out about their candidate.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
