Its actually funny that the infamous debate between Nixon and Kennedy shows how this happens extremely well.
Those that watched the debate on television overwhelmingly gave the win to Kennedy while those that listened to it on the radio gave the win to Nixon.

The solution to every major problem in the U.S. is.......
When it comes time to vote.. TURN OFF YOU TVs!
Don't go to mainstream news websites!!
ONLY know who are the candidates and only look at their voting records!
Nothing else, no tabloid gossip, no who cheated on who, no he said she said but she also said he said...
Every time it's the media whom most let decide for them, based on who gets the most coverage.
Next time whether local or national YOU decide!
And only way to do that is take the hypnotists out of the equation!
TURN OFF YOU TVs and only use the internet to look at the candidate's voting records.
Now imagine if everyone did that!!!!
But they aren't going to do that? Well not with that attitude no they won't!
Go door to door, have your own toastmaster groups, book clubs, community outings, whatever!!!!
It's not that difficult!

Because it works.
Here is an example of a classic, no-information political ad that worked extremely well and the funny part is, it was only shown once.

Yep, the Daisy ad was the beginning of the era of exactly what you called it, "no-information" and sadly it destroyed one of my political heroes in the mean time. Barry Goldwater had no chance against that even if he could prove it all untrue (which it was).

Wrong - goldwater did have a chance but he chose to not fight back. He's just like romney was a few months back.
Nobody votes for a coward.
