Current Events » in reply to Fox has Parkinsons, why should the commercial be shot to depict him as if he didn't?

Then you concede the point that it was deliberate.

The people who made the ad wanted Fox's symptoms shown at their very worst, and they and Fox arranged for the ad to be filmed that way.

How exactly this was done--not enough meds, too many meds, a particularly bad day, phase of the moon--is irrelevant. Rush's speculation that the display of symptoms in the ad was deliberate pretty much bears out.
