Sanders campaign revises ad ripped as 'deceptive'

Politico:

Bernie Sanders’ campaign on Thursday released a revised advertisement that no longer suggests he was endorsed by a New Hampshire newspaper.

The 30-second spot, titled “Endorsed,” shows that the American Postal Workers Union, National Union of Healthcare Workers and National Nurses United have backed the Vermont senator and touts additional endorsements throughout.

But it no longer claims the Valley News has given an official endorsement. “The Valley News says, ‘Sanders has been genuinely outraged about the treatment of ordinary Americans for as long as we can remember,’” the narrator says as the newspaper's name, quote and date appear on screen with a shot of a Sanders rally in the background. An “endorsed by” label no longer appears by the Valley News, though.

The ad still does, however, flash a quote from the Nashua Daily Telegraph — "He is not beholden to Wall Street money" — though it does not explicitly say the paper endorsed Sanders.

Something the Clinton camp could use more of.
