Candidates don't need free media. They run ads which are carefully constructed and then hide out from the general public. A little old fashioned campaigning on a face to face level would be an improvment. If a media outlet wants to cover the election then let the candidate choose some of the sound bites they run and require equal time coverage.

On the funding front - let only voters contribute to campaigns. We don't need all the fancy multiple mailings, billboards, TV ads and other content poor materials. We need content. The League of Women Voters usually furnishes that in our area. Or one content rich mailing would do it. There are a lot of red herrings in this debate. One is that so much money is required. If less money were available people would have to pay more attention in order to cast a guilt free vote.
