I mean if the standard is the current crop of political ads that are run every two years then, yeah, this makes sense. We've largely accepted that ads are allowed to lie as long as they aren't wholesale made up which encompasses all but a measure zero set of lies people actually tell. And while I wish for a better world I certainly don't have any answers for who or how to weigh truth in this manner.
I think a low hanging reform would be requiring ads to have attribution of the real life human persons actually responsible for and paid for the ad instead of the usual "The Center for Good Things Against Bad Things." Expose that it really all terminates at a group of rich assholes small enough to fit on one plane ride to Epstein's island.
