Candidate's Tattered Credibility Takes New Hit on Charge of Faked Ad

MEDIA RELEASE

PULASKI, N.Y., Feb. 11 — Voters should be deeply concerned by the latest revelations of distortion and outright fabrication by Darrel Aubertine in his increasingly negative and personal campaign for State Senate.

Aubertine campaign operatives reportedly coached a local fisherman to makeup a completely false story about his childhood fishing on the Salmon River. His fictional account was included in the candidate's major campaign commercial.

In the ad—one of Aubertine's most widely broadcast commercials—a local fisherman tells a touching story about fishing with his "granddad" on the Salmon River. The individual who appears in the ad now admits that his story was completely false, and that he had been entirely scripted in advance by top aides to Aubertine.
