ABC10 News San Diego. May 8, 2014. Melissa Mecija reporting. 

It is a local race filled with accusations on both sides, so The Civility Project rated the tone and fairness of the latest District Attorney's race ad to hit the airwaves.

Political analysts Carl Luna and John Dadian participated in the analysis of the ad, rating its tone and fairness.

Dadian said while the ad is tough, he believes it is true and fair.

"One of the main criteria that we look at to say is it true and is it fair is do they cite their sources? And they do in this case," said John Dadian.

As far as whether the ad is civil, the opinions differ.

"The ad for district attorney is a fairly disappointing ad, in my view, because it is fairly uncivil. It's an attack ad," Luna said.

Dadian said it is close.

"It goes up that line, still being civil, but very hard hitting. Overall, as far as the aesthetics, it's a very powerful ad," Dadian said.
