    Maybe it would, but there’s a chance that, given contradictory info, people pick and choose what they want to believe and all she’ll really do is neutralise the effect. There will also be some set of people that the first ad reaches but the second doesn’t. For some people, it will just undermine their faith in “the media” - “can’t believe anything these days” - which also may play into the hands of those thriving on deception and misinformation.

    All in all, it’s a gamble, but I’m not confident that it will be a net loss for them.
