"The first information survival skill we will all need is the ability
to decode propaganda and demythologize the highly commercialized and
entertainment-based U.S. culture. Psychologists politely call it
'resistance to enculturation.' Writer Ernest Hemingway had a less
elegant term: 'crap detecting.'"

As I understand it -- and if someone else has additional or different
information on this, please post it -- one of the key groups
advocating
these proposed rule changes is the Republican National Committee.  A
copy of
the letter the RNC sent to the FEC in support of the changes is
available on
their website at http://www.gop.com/RNCResearch/read.aspx?ID=3800.
