you will never be able to "start a newspaper" that has the effect of the NYT. The media uses the NYT as its textbook for what to put on the new every night. Even if no one except the CBS/NBC/ABC/CNN producers read the NYT, and your new newspaper had 1 million readers, the NYT would be more powerful then your paper. Bernard Goldberg describes this perectly in his books.

Most swing voters make their decisions within 60 days of the election, and these ads are a big way these people get information. Those same people won't be watching the NRA cable news network, they will be tuning in to the networks and reading the papers, and without ads, only the liberal bias remains.

Big media now controls the fate of elections in this country, we were making progress taking that power away from them sloely but surely, now they have it all back.

Big media now controls the fate of elections in this country. We were making progress taking that power away from them slowly but surely; now they have it all back.

Excellent point: Big Media is the big winner of this case.
