Your concrete example is nothing more than voters getting the information most pertinent to them. That's not a bad thing.

Umm that's only some of the information that pertinent. It might also be pertinent that the other candidate cheated on his wife with a male prostitute and used campaign find to pay for an aide's abortion, but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't put that in the ad as well.

Incomplete or biased information can be worse than no information...
