Advertising has been down in recent years due to the poor economy...especially on radio (especially hate radio). The broadcasters are looking at the large amounts of Citizens United money as manna from heaven. They love it...the money virtually falls in their laps. No need to send a sales person onto the streets to try to convince a retailer to advertise when the SuperPacs can't buy enough time and whatever rate broadcasters care to charge.

As far as it "hurting" business...the other day they showed that Sheldon Adelson earns over 500 million a year...throwing 10 or 20 or even 50 million to Nooooot is pocket change...the same goes with the Kochs and other billionaires who see buying influence as the "cost of doing business".

and senior citizen bathtubs corporations that would normally buy tv ads but, instead, are going to face a completely different advertising market because of Citizen United and the Koches.
