The truth is that the EU is proposing removing the cap on advertising. The EU is not proposing that we have incessant adverts and we should become German mini series.
That's not spin, it's a basic fact check. Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing is another debate. And whether it will actually happen is another point entirely. But it's important to understand that the media landscape is changing dramatically. If channels don't get the necessary income to survive by product placement and adverts, subscription costs will go up or content will go down.

Don't disagree with you on the headline, but surely, when people follow a link, they read the article, not just the headline? The article states quite clearly that, if the law comes into being, we could be subject to more adds per hour. That is a fact.
I object to the EU interfering with the British TV and video industry. We'll manage it ourselves, thank you very much.
There is no need to interfere with these kinds of things; well, unless you're planning a united states of Europe, that is ;) |
