Date: January 19, 2021

A day before Biden's Inauguration, a timely review of the vetting of political ads during the ’20 campaign season (including Georgia ’21). What is the law regarding the running of political ads?

And we have a sampling of the most outrageous and zaniest political ads of this campaign season. With Peter Canfield, Jones Day, Atlanta; Mark Prak, Brooks Pierce, Raleigh; Joshua Pila, Meredith Corp; Bobby Kahn, political media consultant and CEO, Canal Partners Media, Atlanta.
