Bad news outsells good news.

Some might think, "They're trying to throw the election to the D's!"

I disagree. They just want to create enough uncertainty in the market

for raising ad rates.

Also, the companies that survive economic downturn often do so by
*increasing* their advertising, particularly for consumer goods.
