Here.  John Hudson’s verdict: “Alas, now that everyone hates super PACs, it’s clear that some of the media shaming has been exaggerated in terms of the rise of anonymous spending. But one thing’s for sure: It does seem to have triggered an explosion of spending. And because Americans routinely say they want more money out of politics, it’s no surprise the argument against super PACs has stuck.”

On the disclosure point, I have agreed with Dan Abrams that any media saying Citizens United has led to secret money is wrong.  But that’s not a mistake I see very often.  As to whether CU led to Super PACs, the numbers don’t lie.
