If I had the time or the energy, I'd put up a non-partisan website that debunked all the ads and outed the people or organizations behind them. As it is I just grit my teeth and occasionally point out the worst offenders on my Slapping Idiots blog.
I will say that every ad I've seen from the Obama campaign he is at the beginning of the ad saying "I am Barack Obama and I approved this ad". If that is truly the case, he should be willing to accept responsibility for the spin and nonsense. I haven't seen any of Mitt's ads but I assume he is also approving them. The one Romney ad that completely scalded me was one where he was blaming the cuts in Medicare and Social Security on Obama. The distortion in that one ad alone would keep me from voting for him. The ads by the super-pacs are the most insidious, and the partisans on both sides are eating them up with the confirmational bias spoon.
