Ironically, it will be the dying MSM, because as they seek to recover lost subscribers by increasing their online web presence, any restrictions on Internet-originated political speech will be tightening the noose even further around THEIR necks. For that reason alone, they will pour their not-inconsequential legal resources into this fight. The 'net via bloggers and forums is the main reason the asinine media is dying.

True enough. And the MSM recognizes that if they are to have any chance of survival, they must try to adapt themselves to the very medium that bloggers and forums have been using to shred them into little pieces.
At first, the newspapers and networks dismissed the Internet as being nothing more than a fad, but when the declining numbers of viewers and subscribers proved it was more than a fad, they began to increase their online presence, and that is their only hope to avoid extinction.
Personally I think such efforts by the MSM will be too little, and too late.
Looks good on them.
