Tom Knox Got This Ad Banned From TV
Economic Justice Coalition for Truth, a 527 group, attempted to put this ad on TV. Ha ha, get it! Mastercard! Only about eight years after that joke became old! And sharks, too! Tommy the Loan Shark!
I'm not quite sure what's wrong with this ad -- the statements it makes are, as far as I know, true -- but Knox's lawyers managed to get the TV stations to pass on the ad.
Knox's latest ad, of course, cites a headline from the Daily News, insinuating the DN said Knox's opponents' attacks were "fishy." Which they did, but as a pun because there was a giant anthropomorphic shark there.

Welcome to the world of Tom Knox. Where with the right attorney and enough money, you can override the first amendment and purchase the democratic process.
Stop this dictator now!
