J.B. Pritzker could still fool some users.<br \/>Illinois gubernatorial candidates are expected to use traditional media like TV and radio to get their message out. But, millions have already been spent on social media outlets such as Facebook, mostly by Pritzker.<br \/>Since 2018, a Facebook page for \u201cJB Pritzker\u201d has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ads\/library\/?active_status=all&amp;ad_type=political_and_issue_ads&amp;country=US&amp;view_all_page_id=783753138471485&amp;sort_data%5Bdirection%5D=desc&amp;sort_data%5Bmode%5D=relevancy_monthly_grouped&amp;search_type=page&amp;media_type=all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">spent<\/a> more than $3.6 million on ads, $271,000 of which Facebook notes ran without a disclaimer.<br \/>Reform For Illinois Executive Director Alisa Kaplan said there is additional spending.<br \/>\u201cSocial media, in particular, can be a little deceptive in how ads are presented,\u201d Kaplan said. \u201cSome of the Pritzker ads for example are presented as news pieces.\u201d<br \/>One such ad from a Facebook page called \u201cIllinois Daily\u201d that ran an ad between Nov. 1 and Nov. 21 links to a Chicago Tribune article from March 26 with a quote pulled saying Pritzker has \u201cbeen widely praised by political observers, public health experts and leaders in both parties for his efforts to mitigate the COVID-19 crisis.\u201d<br \/>Facebook <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ads\/library\/?active_status=all&amp;ad_type=political_and_issue_ads&amp;country=US&amp;view_all_page_id=320509205167290&amp;search_type=page&amp;media_type=all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">data<\/a> shows up to $20,000 was spent on the ad with the disclaimer \u201cPaid for by JB for Governor,\u201d making an impression on more than 1 million Facebook users. There are dozens of similar ads.<br \/>Kakie Urch, a professor at the Kentucky School of Journalism and Media, said in the scheme of radio and TV ad spending, that\u2019s a small amount. But with some ads having been seen by more than a million people each, it could still have an impact.<br \/>\u201cIt\u2019s looking like news, but it is not news, it\u2019s promotion,\u201d Urch said. \u201cThat\u2019s not to say it\u2019s fake news, which I think is a different category, but this is definitely a place where you can see confusion with many Facebook users.\u201d<br \/>She said voters need to develop media literacy that looks for authenticity and have awareness of the different layers of \u201cinfluencer compensation or truth.\u201d<br \/>Pritzker&#8217;s campaign did not return multiple requests for comment.<br \/>Illinois State Board of Elections data shows in August, Pritzker\u2019s campaign spent more than $2.3 million with Gambit Strategies. Facebook data shows a page Gambit created in 2018 called \u201cIllinois Daily\u201d spent more than $1.9 million. Nearly $87,000 was spent in the last week. The Republican candidates for governor in the past week have spent a fraction of that for a total of $2,700.<br \/>\u201cThe governor is starting out with a huge advantage in this,\u201d Kaplan said.<br \/>The lead Facebook spender for the Republicans from the past week was Jesse Sullivan, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ads\/library\/?active_status=all&amp;ad_type=political_and_issue_ads&amp;country=US&amp;view_all_page_id=157448993073554&amp;sort_data%5Bdirection%5D=desc&amp;sort_data%5Bmode%5D=relevancy_monthly_grouped&amp;search_type=page&amp;media_type=all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">spending $1,700<\/a>, though all time Sullivan\u2019s campaign has spent $134,000 in Facebook ads.<br \/>Businessman Gary Rabine <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ads\/library\/?active_status=all&amp;ad_type=political_and_issue_ads&amp;country=US&amp;view_all_page_id=330503870688520&amp;sort_data%5Bdirection%5D=desc&amp;sort_data%5Bmode%5D=relevancy_monthly_grouped&amp;search_type=page&amp;media_type=all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">spent<\/a> around $480 in the past week and nearly $53,000 all time.<br \/>Former state Sen.
