Without the massive bombardment of propoganda just before the elections, not to mention the dirt and "gotcha" effect a day or couple of days before the election, this may actually really benefit the GOP greatly.

Do you honestly believe that the leftist media (like the Los Angeles Times, for example) will refrain from publishing "propoganda" and "dirt" in the days leading up to an election? Perhaps you should review some of the "news" that came out just prior to the California recall...

Amen, John...the LA Times was NOT a newspaper in the weeks prior to the California election..they were an advocacy group....the media will run "campaign" ads in "news" formats.

The liberal media is exempt from the law's onerous restrictions. They were after all the main boosterers of CFR. Only they will have the right to say what they want but its basically a privilege. To deter "corruption," Congress can take it away from them at a future date. Nothing in the SCOTUS ruling says Congress has to give special treatment in terms of CFR to the establishment media. And if it gets out of line, they can't do anything about it. In a way for all my anger at the rape of the Constitution by the political class and now the SCOTUS, I just hope to live to see the sight of the media being hoist one day on its own petard.

Of course not, but we still have 3 major venues... FOX News, talk radio, and Bush and his bully pulpit. This will more than neutralize the Dims IMO.
