Reported on FOX Business is that the RNC has spent Zero Dollars on ads for Donald Trump. The Host, Trish Regan, Intelligence Report, said that millions were spent on Mitt Romney and John MCCain.
The Guest, a Trump PAC supporter said it was unfortunate.

If this is true, then this is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!
Shame on the RNC!!
Trump's ads are great and the RNC should use their funds to help our nominee win the election. Failing to do so, SUCKS!!

Source: Politico Manufactured ‘Non-Story’ To Imply RNC-Trump Split

Politico ran a story Thursday morning about how the Republican National Committee has not spent any money on television ads for Donald Trump.
But an RNC official told the Daily Caller that the article — titled “RNC TV ad spending for Trump: $0” — is a “non-story,” insinuating that Politico intentionally withheld information to make it seem like the party is distancing itself from the nominee.
“The thing is, this is a total non-story,” the official explained. “In 2013, the RNC announced that they would not spend money on TV for BOTH the midterms and the presidential election.”
The official also pointed to the fact that Politico’s Playbook actually broke that story back in 2013, “but they do not include that info in their story from today.”
In 2013, Politico reporter Mike Allen published memo from RNC spokesman Sean Spicer that described “the new approach the RNC is taking toward investing [its] resources.”
“In the past, the committee would spend an off year accumulating cash and then, during the election year, we would continue stockpiling cash until the last 90 days,” Spicer wrote in the memo. “The thinking was that the way to win was to drop all that money on TV ads and get-out-the-vote operations in the final days before the election.”
“Things have changed,” the memo stated. “That strategy is both outdated and ineffective.”
Spicer then explained that, instead of spending money on television ads, the RNC would instead choose to invest in a “permanent ground game” to increase minority voter outreach.

Wow. Thank you Newmexican. That explains the 'zero'. That was the new deal between candidates and the RNC, and personally I think the ground game assistance is more valuable to the candidates, especially Donald Trump. Your article also explains why there has been no complaint by Trump or his Campaign about zero advertising, if the RNC was supposed to pay for advertising.
So all is well with the RNC! GOOD!
DISHONEST CORRUPT MEDIA!!
GRRRRR!!!!
I thank you, too, Newmexican. Our heads can spin with the conflicting stories and varying claims of truth.
Will FOX clarify the story? Probably not.
You are welcome. I just happened to notice that on The Daily Caller awhile ago.
Great work!! It's just another example of how totally dishonest the CORRUPT MEDIA is to try to create discord between Trump and the RNC when there is no factual basis for it. The MEDIA is totally disgusting.
Yes, that is an excellent find Newmexican. Mainstream media is so corrupt.
