And please say why you feel the way you do.

You mean, they don't? I was under the impression that advertisers and politicians followed the same formula when promoting their interests, i.e., speaking in Jedi truths.

You're confusing Free Speech with Truth in Advertising Laws.

Free speech is so you can express your view or opinion. It does not give you the ability to lie.

Not so in the case of FOX.

exceptional point. Truth in advertising essentially codifies the right to lie. In practice anyway.

yes.


i'm tired of unscrupulous people using lies and fear tactics to get stupid people to vote for bad people and bad things

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

And a lie is a lie.

Truth is truth.

I see.

Pro-choice people support the killing of unborn children. Is that the truth or is that a lie?
