Ariél Zangla reports in The Daily Freeman that a political attack ad against Democrat Antonio Delgado uses an excerpt from an article about the 19th Congressional District candidate “completely out of context” according to the founders of Chronogram magazine. The Congressional Leadership Fund, a group that backs U.S. House Republicans, made the advertisement that lifts three words from the July 20, 2018, Chronogram article “NY19 Rap Narratives Painfully Free of Substance.” “Chronogram condemns this SuperPAC attack ad on Delgado that takes our coverage completely out of context,” Brian K. Mahoney, editorial director for Chronogram parent Luminary Media, said in a statement. The ad attacks Delgado for profane and sexist language on a 2006 hip hop album he released, and says that Chronogram called the album “fraught with profanity.” But the article used that phrase in reference to the way a now-deleted anonymous Twitter account described Delgado’s rap album. The full quote from the article reads: “The songs in his album ‘Painfully Free,’ the account revealed, are fraught with profanity, anti-capitalist sentiments, and contentious critiques of race relations in America, as well as some misogynistic language.” So Chronogram did not write that Delgado's 12-year-old album was "fraught with profanity," but some anonymous Twitter used did. “Chronogram encourages voters to look beyond political attack ads paid for by outside groups and focus on learning about where the candidates stand on the issues,” Mahoney said. Delgado, who lives in Rhinebeck, is running against freshman Congressperson John Faso, a Republican from Kinderhook, in the Nov. 6 election in New York’s 19th Congressional District which includes Ulster, Greene, Columbia, Delaware counties; most of Dutchess County; and some or all of six other counties. Since Delgado won the June 26 Democratic primary, Faso and the national Republican group have spent most time talking about Delgado on his rap past, rather than his current political positions.
