CP reporter to Hudak: “Why are you allowing your party to put out ads lying about the Liberal promise?”
I really wish someone could explain to me why political ads are seemingly exempt from advertising standards regarding truth. I worked very briefly as a radio ad copywriter in the 90s and I’m quite sure there were rules with regard to this.
I would like to know the same thing. I mean, I thought that advertising had to have some shred of truth, or at least some sort of disclaimer… Is it just that they say “Paid for by” at the end?
