''Broadcast messages are seen by a broader audience,'' said Stephen D. Ansolabehere, a political scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and an expert on political advertising.

Why should we be surprised by any of this?? Sounds like politics as usual to me...now...having lived in some third world countries...you want to talk interesting politics...who ever lives through the election wins!

Why is it that something that originally attacks people who want to do good, get so corrupted along the way??

Peace and love,
