A little consumer heads up for you all. I have been getting calls from these people despite being on a no call list. They have been reported.

This is a scam. Don't do business with these folks.

Flipped on CNN this afternoon to dumb myself down a little, and every commercial break they are airing ads for US fidelis along with another differently branded but actually the same company in disguise car warranty service. How can CNN be this irresponsible a week after the today show piece ran?

to answer your final question -- ad runs are sold, and advertisements are created, well in advance of a week before airing. And CNN probably doesn't have someone specifically in charge of "watching all newsmagazine shows to make sure none of our 100s of advertisers are being exposed as fradulent."

Even if they did, US Fidelis has a contract, and absent some sort of injunction against them advertising, CNN is obligated to air the ads. US Fidelis could sue them for breach of contract if they didn't. Nor is CNN obligated to vouch for the accuracy of the commercials they're paid to air. In practice, the liability for what's said in the commercial falls on US Fidelis, not CNN.
