At least that's what residents of hurricane-ravaged Mississippi were told when a local newscaster aired a fake news segment earlier this year. One problem: Viewers weren't told that the segment was bought and paid for by ExxonMobil lobbyists.

This deception is illegal under federal rules and must be stopped.
