Political advertising was never built as a meritocracy, and campaigns don't always spend where the numbers point them. They spend where the instinct — and the image — feels safest.

"Professional franchises don’t have to agree with a media member. They don’t have to like the questions being asked or the opinions being offered. But when a credential is pulled immediately after pointed criticism and no explanation is provided, it creates the appearance that a dissenting voice is being punished for being dissenting."
