Is This an Ad? Did You Violate the Law?

WKRN (Nashville) Anchor Allie Lynch posted a video to social media that looked like an advertisement for a company named Skin Pharm.

So, I guess Nexstar has a no swearing policy, but doesn’t have a no shilling policy.

Also, if Lynch was paid, or given free products or services, under FTC rules, she needs to tell her followers that.

Again, the idea that Journalists are pimping products and services on social media is so far over the ethical line, you can’t see the line any longer.

Hopefully, Nexstar and other media companies will clamp down on their people trying to be Kardashians.
