Should radio and TV stations be held responsible when they advertise spam or deception?
Radio and TV spots are full of "Income at Home", Lipozine fat reduction pills, ED pills, magic 1-800 numbers (but no websites), tax-elimination services, night creams, and other deceptive or fraudulant advertising. Often reputable stations and hosts advertise this junk. Should these stations or networks be held responsible if people are harmed (physically or financially) by the products they advertise?

Yes, they should.
If they knowingly accept commercials for products that they know don't work. They can't get off the hook by claiming that while they knew the ads were deceptive, that they're innocent because they charged for the advertising.

confident, they ought to. in the event that they knowingly settle for labeled classified ads for products that they understand do no longer paintings. they could't get off the hook via claiming that jointly as they knew the classified ads have been deceptive, that they are harmless because of the fact they charged for the merchandising.
