Great exposition by the folks at The Media Drop on our Jefferson quote about truth in advertising. They clearly note that in some ways ads are forced to be more truthly both by law and by what they describe. Where news and other media have to make tons of choices about what they cover and don't cover, face the biases of their reporters, owners, advertisers etc. Really interesting. Makes me feel less bad about being a marketing shill.
