In this week's episode of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert take a close look at honesty in content marketing. The FTC comes down hard on Lord & Taylor for untoward native advertising practices, while publishers struggle with content recommendations digging into credibility.

Rants and raves include the death of social content and L'Oreal goes unbranded with their new content site. This week's TOM example: Xavier University basketball.
