UNDATED (MetroSource-WSAU) An ad bashing former Senator Russ Feingold has been pulled by at least three TV stations around the state. Lawyers for Feingold’s campaign tell the “Milwaukee Journal Sentinel” that WMSN in Madison along with WLUK and WGBA in Green Bay stopped airing the ad after they sent a letter calling it “false, misleading and deceptive.”
The ad from the Freedom Partners Action Fund and bankrolled by Charles and David Koch, focused on a 2009 memo regarding the Veterans Administration facility in Tomah.
The ad claims that Feingold was told about the over-prescription of pain killers at the Tomah VA Center. Feingold says he never saw the document. The union director who drafted the memo has since said she is not sure if the memo was ever delivered to Feingold’s office.
