"When conservatives destroy these public goods, it doesn’t necessarily lead to a Democratic backlash at the ballot box, and they see this as a long-term investment in a more ignorant population reliant on sources of information they can control — a docile population that can be easily manipulated."

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in Supreme Court history. It's allowed billionaires to completely take over our politics and destroy our democracy. There are days when we are reminded just how pernicious that ruling was. Today is one of those days.
