Candidates, campaigns use news clips in political advertising
While you might see parts of WRAL newscasts in political ads, WRAL doesn't endorse any candidate.
WE DON'T KNOW IF HE WAS
REFERRING TO INTERNAL POLLS SO
WE DON'T HAVE A RATING ON THIS
ONE BUT WE DO HAVE MORE DETAILS
ON THIS STORY ON WRAL.COM.
>>> WE HAVE BEEN HEARING FROM A
LOT OF OUR VIEWERS WONDERING
WHY CLIPS FROM WRAL NEWSCASTS
ARE FEATURED IN VARIOUS LITTLE
ADS AND SOME ASKING IF WE ARE
ENDORSING CANDIDATES.
THE ANSWER IS NO UNDER
COPYRIGHT LAW POLITICAL
CANDIDATES CAN USE NEWSCAST
CLIPS AND THERE IS NOT MUCH A
STATION CAN DO ABOUT IT.
SINCE WRAL IS THE ONLY STATION
IN THE STATE WITH A POLITIFACT
FACT CHECKING TEAM ARE NEWS
CLIPS GET USING A LOT OF ADS
