It is fairly straightforward to outlaw this kind of thing. Extend the same laws that we have about commercial speech to the public, to any speech that is to the public. Not speech that is in public, speech that is to the public at large. Must be warrantied, with due diligence. You know how people talk in the court, so they don't accidentally lie (and get the punishments that that would entail)? Imagine if politicians (or anyone) had to abide by that when they speak to the public. I have a feeling their bombastic claims (and lies) used to incite and defraud people would be greatly tempered and have more qualifying statements. Fraud, libel, and slander laws restored.
