In the September 4 edition of Ohio Has Issues with Stephanie Haney and Mike Polk Jr., we look at political spending in Ohio, FCC rules for political ads, the problem of false equivalency and more.

Cleveland.com editor Chris Quinn joins the show to talk about his recent Letter from the Editor, talking about his concern over counting articles, false equivalency and lies in the mainstream media. We also check in with Cleveland.com political reporter Andrew Tobias, to see where the money is being spent on political ads this election cycle, while giving you an inside look at what little control TV stations have over the ads the show up on the air.

We also give you an update on the Senate race between sitting Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown, Republican challenger Bernie Moreno, and Libertarian challenger Don Kissick, to the best of our ability.
