Fact checking necessary for political ads on TV

I want to thank KCRG-TV9 for having the audacity to broadcast what's true and what's not when it comes to the political ads being aired on TV. I would like to see an exposé of the deceptive political ads on the weekend before election and ending Monday night.
If those that originated such ads were made to pay a fine for each untruthful ad that then was paid to the cause or entities they opposed, we would see those ads either go away or sticking to the truth of the matters.
