There are only so many hours in a day that funders can cram effective advertising into. So unless "news" outlets jack up the cost of ad time 10x to compensate for a 90% reduction in campaign periods (which should be easy to regulate against in some fashion), how would they even be able to spend the same amount of money and have even a prayer of having the same level of influence? Manipulation and propaganda takes time to set in.
Not to mention how much society would benefit from the bullshit horse race nonsense no longer consuming so much of the oxygen in the room in near-perpetuity.
