television stations are working on a deal to give free airtime to the GOP

This doesn't really have anything to do with what we're talking about, but I just thought that it was interesting that the United States is the only country (if I recall correctly, if I'm wrong, please correct me) in which political parties / candidates do not get free television airtime. To me, this seems to tip the scales of publicity in favor of wealthy candidates (disregarding the two main political parties, although minor parties would benefit [however, if all parties were represented, it might prove to be huge amounts of airtime. /me shrugs]).

Don't you just love how money is the driving force of our government, rather than the good of the people, or even what the politicians personally prefer?
