"The Persuaders" points out that there are laws governing truth in advertising for products and services, but that "politicians can legally say whatever they want." Should political ads be governed by the same kinds of laws that govern product ads? Why do you think there aren't such laws?
Yes, I think that political ads should be governed by the same kinds of laws that govern product ads because I don't think its right that political ads should be able to tell the reader or listener lies and false information about another candidate, person, or something else. Also, I don't think that politicians should be able to say false things so that they can get elected, that way, they are lying to their whole country, and meanwhile, we would have a "fake" President. There might not be such laws on political ads because then the politicians can show their strategy skills and also, the candidates haven't been elected yet, so they can't truthfully tell the listeners what they will do in the White House. Even if a not so great President was elected, he or she could be impeached, and there would still be other members of the government that could keep things under control.
