The Supreme Court routinely maintains that it is a free speech issue. They have enshrined the right to lie with constitutional protection.

They can still advertise in newspapers and magazines. I am not aware of any attempt by the companies to oppose the TV/Radio ban in the courts. With the current makeup of the court ( 4 pro-business nazis ) I suspect that if they did so they would win.
