We need a bi-partisan rating system for political ads for 2010 and beyond

[zulchzulu]

After witnessing all the insanely repetitive and deceptive political ads on TV and radio in this election cycle, it is time to have a very visible or audible rating system that rates an ad on accuracy, distortion of facts, outright lies and have the ads rated by a bi-partisan commission that can do ti fairly quickly.

The TV ad would have a very prominent watermark in one corner of the screen with a simple iconic rating system and would be displayed throughout the ad. The radio ad would have a simple tagline that says something like "this ad is rated D for accuracy".

It's time for a rating system that gets embedded in political ads.
