Hah! The TV and other media are laughing all the way to the bank. Nothing but a money stream for media with ads.
That's what I've been saying here for the last 10 years about repealing the 17th amendment.
The media cash in every 4 years, but the mid-terms are also crazy now. Eliminate 33 Senate elections every 2 years, and you take a LOT of money away from the media.
