Fact Check: The Sequel

Annenberg Fact Check director Brooks Jackson gives us consumers of political ads some background on how the ads can be patently false while deception in other forms of consumer advertising - namely commercial goods - has been a crime for decades.

He cites examples, laws, and 'problems with enforcement' to illustrate the point.

After their most unusual showing of 1 June, we at pure bs headquarters(my pc room, really) will be watching Fact Check watch the campaigns.

Here's a link to Brook Jackson's latest piece.
