Reporting Political Ads: Reporting Political Ads

I can't believe I have to waste blog space on this, but here goes... All About Jazz blocks certain ad types from appearing on our website (see the screenshot of blocked categories below). Ads when purchased, are supposed to be labeled by category. In my area, Mehmet Oz's supporters are mislabeling their political ads to gain entry onto websites like AAJ. Our ad partner, AdThrive, has made internal adjustments to block the Oz ads from appearing on All About Jazz and Jazz Near You, but now we're seeing negative ads about John Fetterman. I have asked AdThrive to block those ads too.

We run a jazz music website, our reputation is paramount, so let's just say we're a little peeved that organizations purchasing these ads are mislabeling them. If you see a political ad in your area, please report it to us (and include a screenshot).
