The Supreme Court on Friday endorsed a request from Republican campaign groups that want to buy discounted TV advertising for this year’s midterms, the latest in a series of emergency rulings from the high court benefiting the GOP.
The decision effectively upholds guidance issued by the Federal Communications Commission in March that allowed the campaign arms of House and Senate Republicans to pay lower ad rates that were previously reserved only for candidates.
The court’s order will primarily benefit Republicans, who generally raise more money through party committees than Democrats.
Oh wow, THIS will surely make the US economy better! Don’t worry about your grocery bill, political ADS cost less now!
Don’t be an unpatriotic ingrate thinking only of yourself. Think of the
childrenpolitical candidates!Advertising fatigue is so bad nowadays that you may as well show me paint drying on the wall.
You’re not the target market. Republicans know that broadcast and cable TV skews older and conservative these days. Thats why they want that discount.
This “discount” law doesn’t apply to streaming services.

I mean I get what you’re saying but the irony is their target demographic isn’t likely to even remember an advert anymore.
Billionaires will kill us all while millionaires scream and yell. Thousandaires defend them both while our children suffer through hell.
and only until all of our money is burnt and our pennies rotted will we be able to rebuild without them
