Television: The following is a paid political campaign ad. Any resemblance to reality is purely coincidental.
Caption: If truth in advertising laws were strictly enforced.
Last night The National (Canadian Broadcasting Company’s news show) ran a very interesting story on the Koch brothers,,,,,,,You can bet the Koch bros. have enough “bought and paid for” influence that the show will not be run in the states!
Ohio had a law prohibiting deliberate lying during a political campaign, but it was challenged, and just this past Thursday it was announced that a federal appeals court found that political candidates have a constitutional right to lie as much as they want.

Any resemblance to reality would slip unnoticed by the viewers as there is so little of it these days that it would be totally unexpected.
