A grin spread on my face while I read this. I applaud every ambassador title they get. It may not mean they're getting on tv, but it means they were chosen over hundreds of idols, and chosen over idols from the 3 big companies. It means they bring in so much revenue that entire countries notice it, even when they lack media coverage. So yes, it sucks the politicians can't help more than they do, but the honor is still a thorn up SM's ass and I'm glad they have it. :)
