I wonder if anyone's studied a possible correlation between the gradual diminution of political news on electronic media and the rise in campaign money spent on electronic media advertising.
There's no local political coverage at all on broadcast stations here ( NYC). Don't know about cables. But commercial ( paid for) political coverage is off the charts. In the old days there was significant local political coverage on TV/Radio.
It seems reasonable to posit that the two are related.
