While in theory, a total ban on all political advertising seems fair, the only reason this is a burgeoning issue for the 2020 race is that old media guard (NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, ...) play second fiddle to democrat narratives and policies (even if unconsciously so). New media (Youtube, internet, etc.) cuts out the massive editorialization that the old guard is legendary for, and that does not work in favor of the democrats.
So no - this isn't some unbiased, conscientious objection to fake news/propaganda from the left, this is their move to retain control over media narratives, and I do not trust them or the mega-corps they deem kosher (new wave of internet companies) to act fairly. Like with most things in life, it is the individual's responsibility to dig deeper for the truth.
