Poisoning the well is a fallacy used in many political debates and commercials. This fallacy is used to discredit a person and/or whatever he is arguing for or against. An example of poisoning the well is "Timmy may tell you that federal school funding is fair among all schools, but he has always lived on the other side of the tracks." The commercials chosen discredit any other way of seeing television that is not DirecTV and discredit Matt Bevin because he is against early childhood education, though he says he is not.
