If they really wanted to solve the problem, they should create/fund a service to promote the "truth" like a Politifact (assuming they do a good job - I don't actually know). Then you can fund it with: - taxes on all political advertising, and/or - penalties on the group(s) responsible for lies ...and use the revenue to offset the lies' impact by advertising the actual truth? You'd have to somehow prevent bankruptcy protection for those groups else you could just start a new group for each "lie campaign" which spends all its' money and then goes bankrupt whenever penalized... Of course "them really wanting to solve the problem" is the first bar to get over vs "wanting another stick to beat their opponents with". :-p
