Sticking it to seniors? As if the right wasn't dismantling social security?

The Wall Street Journal editorial board is pretty notorious for writing this sort of drivel on their opinion pages

Three months later, on August 1, 2007, News Corporation and Dow Jones entered into a definitive merger agreement.[32] The US$5 billion sale added The Wall Street Journal to Rupert Murdoch's news empire, which already included Fox News Channel, Fox Business Network, London's The Times, the New York Post, and the Fox flagship station WNYW (Channel 5) and MyNetworkTV flagship WWOR (Channel 9).[33]

Who would of guessed murdoch owned media would be biased? I'm shocked!

Hold it right there, because I want to take this opportunity to draw a distinction between newsroom bias and the editorial board's political opinions. The Wall Street Journal's news reporting is centrist and very objective by global standards. It's merely the opinion pages that are very right-wing. This is in stark contrast to organisations like Fox News where both the editorial and news sections skew heavily to the right.

How could I go about soliciting the maximum amount of political party-based advertising in order to waste my opponentโ€™s resources and would this result in a significant drain on their finances? Ideally just ads that I could throw in recycling bin, instead of ads that ring my phone throughout the day and night.

just... sign up for it?

Or if you really want them to never stop, give them a couple bucks sometime. fun fact: you donate to one, they usually share their donor lists so you get them all.

You are in the wrong community...

It would be more appropriate to post it in the politics community.
