Harris Commercials on Roku are lies and deceit

I am about to cancel my subscriptions and throw away my three devices. I will not support a business thar purposefully air lies and slander against former President Thump. The statements made during this commercial have already been proven false and misleading. As VP candidate Walz said “ we cannot have 4 more years of this “. That is the Biden/Harris destruction of America. Goodbye!!!

Re: Harris Commercials on Roku are lies and deceit

You're certainly welcome to dispose of your devices if you wish. But first, you don't subscribe to Roku, so there's nothing to cancel. Secondly, you might recall that broadcasters are not permitted to pick and choose what political ads they air. If they accept ads from one political candidate, they are required to provide the same access to other candidates. I can't say for certain if the same rule applies to online services, but it's probably likely.

What services are you seeing them on? The Roku Channel is the only service Roku has full control of. Others are mostly under the control of that service, with some services revenue sharing giving Roku a few ads

Also, if the GOP is not spending money on Roku or any streaming ads, then it will seem one sided. If you are in a heavily GOP area, then why would they waste money preaching to the choir?

Re: Harris Commercials on Roku are lies and deceit

It's absolutely true, Harris and her campaign are telling absolute lies and are getting away with it because the media in the US is very corrupt and biased towards the democrat party. Ads are one thing, but when they are spreading misinformation and there is no fact checking then it is purposely trying to mislead people. Those ads should be banned.

Sorry. There is something called the 1st Amendment. Truth is often in the eye of the beholder. Just ask all the cat-eating illegal Democrats.

Re: Harris Commercials on Roku are lies and deceit

I would agree wholeheartedly about the Kamala Harris commercials. They must be paying you guys a lot of money to spread such lies and slander about Donald Trump. None of it is true, I know it you know it the American people know it so I'd appreciate it if you would just take these things off of the air.

When a political ad is created, broadcasters are not allowed to pick and choose what they broadcast. If they allow any political ads, they must allow all of them. So they are not permitted to remove something.

The first amendment is freedom of speech, not freedom to lie and slander 👍

Suck it up buttercup. Your cult leader is a CONVICTED FELON and a bonafied SEXUAL PREDATOR. If you don't like it, turn your TV off.
