...most interesting result of Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the Supreme Court case that struck down limitations on corporate political advertising, may not be the growth in corporate political action it spurs. Indeed, it is unclear that such growth would even occur. Before Citizens United, corporations could spend unlimited amounts of money on ads blaring, “Candidate X is an immoral, incompetent liar.” Because of Citizens United, those ads can now say, “Candidate X is an immoral, incompetent liar. Vote against him.” The difference is real...

...fairness, the Super Bowl-“M*A*S*H” comparison is intricately complicated. Those of us privileged to watch television in 2010 have many more channels (not to mention the Internet) vying for our attention than was the case in 1983. Yet, I can’t help but feel that the success of the Super Bowl is not a victory for television, at least in the traditional sense; it is a victory for the advertising-industrial complex...
