Television Will sports cable tv shows call out other shows for giving away garbage / bad gambling picks?

[Nizam al-Mulk]

They like drama and it would be drama but i wonder if they are afraid of the gambling companies getting upset over that or they cartelled up and pretty much give away bad advice on purpose.

Will the FCC get its head out of its ass and ban sports betting and prescription drugs from advertising on tv?

Free speech doesn't cover the sales pitch of scammers running a fixed three card monte game.

That's just fraud.

I kinda do not think sports gambling works like that even if sportbooks can refuse to give out your winnings.

Advertising vice (drugs, gambling, prostitution) on television is not constitutionally protected free speech and your initial statement that some European nations with "weaker free speech laws" do restrict it is wild. This is not a free speech issue and to characterize it as such is actively malevolent.
