...media consultant and Institute of Politics Fellow who hosted a discussion on the subject on Friday. Three days after the 2008 presidential election, the talk centered on the ways that television campaign advertisements play on voters’ fears. Castellanos, who has been responsible for creating numerous television campaign ads, said that fear is both an important and necessary part of politics. “We need more fear in politics,” he said. He analogized the use of negative ads in campaigns to warning calls in dangerous situations, equating it to “yell...
...what’s so refreshing.”From its opening moments, it may seem that screenwriter Charlie Kaufman’s directorial debut is treading water—the notion of the “author-in-crisis” is a thematic thread that Kaufman explored ad nauseum in his 2002 screenplay for “Adaptation.,” directed by Spike Jonze.

It wasn't right, but it was what...

When Chambliss first ran for the seat in 2002 against the incumbent Max Cleland, he aired ads that accused Cleland, a triple amputee and decorated Vietnam veteran, of not being patriotic enough and soft on Osama Bin Laden. Fast forward six years and the attacks have been just as ugly. One of Chambliss's charges is that Martin raised taxes as he voted to raise his own government expense account. Martin fired back with an ad saying Chambliss had "supported George Bush's economic...
