Sure they're real. Even reality TV is real. Even wrestling is real, in the sense of a real-existing material process with consequences.

Welcome to this plane of existence. Here, the man in Tiananmen Square survived, chartreuse is greenish, New Zealand is east of Australia, John Denver died in '97, and Fred Rogers sang that it was "a beautiful day in this neighborhood." Are you finding this version of your body comfortable?

Election revenue is real, especially for the big Media quadrennial show.

Media Executives Are Salivating Over Big Money Flooding the 2016 Election Cycle


At least one small slice of the American public looks forward to the non-stop, sleazy political advertisements set to inundate viewers during the 2016 elections: media executives and their investors.

Peter Liguori, the chief executive of Tribune Company, said earlier this month that the next presidential campaign presents “enormous opportunity” for advertising sales. Speaking at a conference hosted by J.P. Morgan Chase, Liguori, whose company owns television stations, referenced Super PAC spending as a key factor for why he thinks Tribune Co. political advertising revenue will rocket from $115 million in 2012 to about $200 million for the 2016 campaign cycle.

Vince Sadusky, the chief executive of Media General, the parent company of 71 television stations across the country, told investors in February that his company is positioned to benefit from unlimited campaign spending, referencing decisions by the Supreme Court. “We are really looking forward to the 2016 elections with spending on the presidential race alone estimated to surpass $5 billion,” Sadusky said, according to a transcript of his remarks.

"Political scientists, current campaign advisors and former digital gurus to Barack Obama and Mitt Romney agree: a Facebook ad is perhaps the best money to spend in what could be a nearly $10bn election, and 2016 is fast becoming the year Facebook learned to profit from how you vote."

They tell me I was remembering Breitbart dropping dead, but I think it's more timeline tampering.
