    As I have said before, the US general election is one big media feast...

The Obama camp just passed $1B in fund-raising. Also, more than 1M commercials will be run this election.

The Citizen's United Supreme Court ruling is a big reason why so much money has been poured into these campaigns. Given the way that the US government actually works, it now means that media corporations will probably be lobbying to block any legislation that threatens Citizen's United.
