Defund MSM Install FairVote | 10:46 a.m. Oct. 5, 2007
Want to impact the profits of the mainstream media? Implement electoral reforms championed by FairVote: The Center for Voting and Democracy.

Political campaigns are so expensive because of the cost of advertising on television?

Why is political coverage so dismal on television? The television networks want to sell more advertising to political campaigns.

Same goes to a lesser extent for newspapers.

FairVote's electoral reforms create lower voter thresholds for representation, yet preserve majority rule.
