![["In the 1996 political TV ad, Democratic candidate Rick Locke criticizes opponent Doc Hastings, depicting him metaphorically as a rotting apple. The ad visually and dramatically portrays Hastings as making severe cuts to Medicare, jobs, and police funding, aligning with wealthy interests, and engaging in policies harmful to public services, symbolized by him maliciously biting into an apple."]](/thumb/P-1749-92318.jpg "1996 - U.S. House of Representatives - Rick - Locke - \"Bite\"")
