" Most people get their news from television"

Network news is now down to just about 30 million viewers a night (out of a population of 300 million), down from close to 60 million 30 years ago.
And that is a population that is much higher than it was before.
If network TV news had anywhere near the power they used to have before, President Bush would have lost in 2004.
They don't.

Let me guess. Those stuck in the muds will say Iraq had no WMD's, was not associated with al Queda yada yada. Same old routine they have been monotonously repeating for 3 years. i don't think people vote the past. I want to know what a candidate sees in the future.

Let me modify that. Besides those watching the news, which is down, the ads will be seen by those watching Oprah and other daytime TV shows. They will be influenced by the Soros crap. For whom do you think they will vote?

Think it through: It's not about getting on the network news, it's about buying airtime during heavily watched shows... You go where the viewers are. Simple. But expensive.
