The front page of yesterday's Wheeling Intelligencer featured Congressman David McKinley defending himself against accusations made in a political ad from his Republican primary opponent, Alex Mooney. (See previous post.) On page 5 of this morning’s Wheeling Intelligencer, you can find this report from Ogden’s political reporter about a McKinley ad attacking Mooney:

Taking his turn to launch TV ads, Congressman David McKinley is reminding voters of Congressman Alex Mooney’s ethics investigation, while Mooney is threatening stations that run the ad. https://t.co/K546XUuJ0i pic.twitter.com/iEBAQZNgTf

Here is the ad (Unlike the anti-McKinley ad, I have not seen it on any of our local channels):

I’m a bit surprised that McKinley is attacking Mooney’s ethics violations given his own not-so-virginal past. Hmmm. It may be time for a compare and contrast post on how the Intelligencer has covered Mooney’s and McKinley’s ethical lapses.
