In case you were wondering the Republicans on the FCC both dissent claiming that the FCC has no jurisdiction to ban lying because people being marketed too aren’t cable subscribers yet and therefore outside of the FCC’s purview. What a load of horse-hockey. Their next argument will be that the FCC has no right to regulate cable at all because the consumer hasn’t been screwed until they give the cable company their money at which point it’s too late.
As much of a free-market-enjoyer that I am, this is what you get when you vote Republican (or stay home).
