Claim: Nevada Sen. Harry Reid is slugging it out with his Republican opponent Sharron Angle over the state's dismal unemployment rate. It's a fair fight. Their dueling ads are totally accurate. But each leaves key facts unsaid. Angle's 60-second ad first aired July 9, and a 30-second version is also airing. It presents a gloomy, menacing picture of the Nevada economy with shaky, blue-tinged shots of melancholy faces, accompanied by background music fit for a funeral.
