HOME / damned spot: Political ads dissected and explained.
Fighting Video With VideoSlate's remixed campaign ads.
Posted Wednesday, Oct. 11, 2006, at 3:15 PM ETFor many election cycles, Slate has sliced, diced, and dissed campaign commercials in our "Damned Spot" feature. This year, we have a new method of exposing the many tricks pols and their Svengalis use to persuade the masses: Damned Spot is now a video feature. This new format allows Slate's chief political correspondent, John Dickerson, to comment on the ads in real time, while you're watching them.
