rhuForget "I'm John Doe, and I approve this message." I'd love to see the campaigns be able to voluntarily submit ads to FactCheck.org, and if FactCheck determines that the ads contain no inaccuracies, then the campaign would be allowed to include an "Approved by FactCheck" symbol on screen for the duration of the ad.
Since this would be voluntary on a per-ad basis, it would not preclude a campaign from rushing a response ad on the air without the FactCheck seal of approval, nor would it prevent a campaign from indulging in a combination of intentionally misleading uncertified ads with their more responsible counterparts. But once a few ads went out with the "Approved by FactCheck" seal, I bet people would start looking for that, and would start wondering about the ads that lack it.
