No, they're calling things bull that aren't bull. Fillibusters ARE a time-honored part of the political process, for hundreds of years. They've been used for good and bad things, but they're attacking the ad entirely out of the context the ad is in and with spurious accusations. The Republicans are trying to get rid of one of the basic rules of the Senate, as they've already done to many other rules that had been in place for years, for their own political advantage. So looking at an ad and presenting their report as if fillibusters are just used for bad things is stupid.
So, basically, they're calling something bull that's not really bull, and getting dragged down by trying to appear "fair" by bashing both sides and ignoring the bigger picture.
