this influx of foreign and anonymous corporate donations ends up in the medias pockets thru advertising.
it is in their best interests to see a horse race to the very end.......

Campaign finance reform would be a disaster for the TV and radio industries. Turn on any news program and count the political ads. That's who's paying their rent.

Who own all these companies? Murdoch, Limbaugh for two. I'm not familiar with that part of the MSM. I just know which news programs I watch and which I don't to keep my blood pressure down.
