Yes. It was untrue.

In the eyes of people who see politics as a sport or some kind of battle, it was considered skillful.

I guess she meant that the local traditional press is reporting the smear and not the correction.

And yes, the Sanders campaign is running a radio ad. But Hillary is also running a radio ad with just the slur, not the correction.

Oh, btw, I also saw Heileman and Halperin on MSNBC today talk about the smear in non-flattering but resigned words.
