Prepackaged News Story Announcement Act of 2005

Summary

Truth in Broadcasting Act of 2005 - Amends the Communications Act of 1934 to require that any prepackaged news story produced by or on behalf of a Federal agency that is broadcast or distributed by a network organization, broadcast licensee or permittee, or multichannel video programming distributor in the United States conspicuously identifies the U.S. Government as the story's source. Makes it unlawful to remove such identifying announcement. Defines "prepackaged news story" as a complete, ready-to-use audio or video news segment designed to be indistinguishable from a news segment produced by an independent news organization.
