I have been posting comments about this concept for more years and I can remember. Friday night, November 7, 2014, Bill Maher brought it up in his final segment of the show, Real Time.
He asked the same question I have been asking for years: Simply put ... if there are Truth in Advertising Laws, which prevent an advertiser from saying anything not true to promote their product, why do those same laws not apply to political ads?
Bill Maher made mention of the many political ads which contained very little truth, only exaggerations, likes, innuendo, and misdirection, but were allowed on the various airways in support of their candidate.
He also brought up the fact that so many advertisements have been produced and paid for by organizations which claim to have no connection to the candidates themselves.
