The question is not whether it's false. The question is what is the purpose of making this a problem for facebook but not for your TV channels or for Twitter etc.
Don't underestimate how well this works for the traditional media. It both help undermine one of their biggest competitors and it creates traffic by keep sensationalizing what is really completely normal practice and have been for as long as there have been advertising.
Shady advertisers, pollute... those aren't the media reporting thats the media shaming what they themselves do all the time.
