I'm wondering about the laws related to political TV ads. I thought candidates had to have some sort of video taped approval message at the end of them. Hence the "My name is Kang, and I approve of this message." I've been seeing at the end of ads. Now, I'm noticing this same speech at the begriming of the ads, which makes me wonder if it was mandated to be at the end. I tend to zone out lots of TV, so if an ad has the approval message at the beginning, I have to watch for fine print at the end. Is this a changing trend?
