I have been complaining for months that I think the TV ads of the candidates running for U.S. Senator from Alabama and for Alabama Governor are political diarrhea, and it is appalling that the ads are effective for getting voters to vote for the candidates. https://al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com/2022/03/unchecked-political-diarrhea.html.

I have been haranguing TV stations to mitigate the political diarrhea by editorializing about the candidates' TV ads.

In these final days before May 24th I have been pleading with the TV stations to do election roundtable discussions among the stations' news anchors and reporters. https://al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com/2022/05/al-tv-station-election-roundtables.html

The above guest opinion talks about the "well-funded super PACs supporting Katie hav[ing] blanketed the state with mailers designed to subtly shift your impression of Mike."

I am sure that, like the candidates' TV ads, the candidates' mailers are distortive  about the truth and reality of an opponent who is attacked (if an opponent is attacked) and are misleading and inaccurate in the messaging in the mailer in favor of the candidate sending the mailer.

The mailers of the candidates are further reason why TV stations should do election roundtable discussions among the stations' news anchors and reporters.

Also, the above guest opinion's discussion of issues is suggestive that roundtable discussions by the TV stations need to be of significant length.
