Dennis Ryerson of the Indy Star doesn’t like to see newspaper copy used in political ads. He believes there’s an implied endoresement there that doesn’t exist, so it’s misleading.
Newspapers such as The Star have worked hard to remain an independent voice, not tied to any special interest. It’s hard to convince some people of that when our words are picked up and used in partisan campaigns.
It is an unsavory practice.
