but there are people on DU who wake up every morning looking for new reasons to feel victimized and this one is one that on the surface looks useful.

The decision is right in its way, it just doesn't account for the fact the rich tend to be Republican and will get more access to the expensive parts of the media. As it points out, each voter can decide how to inform themselves. In theory voters can pick up a cheap copy of the Nation and read it, but they watch TV instead - and the expensive ads. which Democrats can still afford, but not as often as not as slick.

Yet still Democrats can win sometimes.

And if claiming that those further progressive don't win, they don't account for Dennis K. being in the podium during the primary debates. If he'd been able to make major inroads, the media would have been forced to pay more attention to him.

So it's not just $$ and that alone. You have to think that the voters are so dumb they are just bought to consider this decision a complete disaster to democracy for all time.
