Remember your words when Rush, Hannity, Savage, Boortz, etc. all go off the air or talk about breast enlargement or Canadian Baby seals, 60 days before the election Under your scenario, so will the New York Times, Wash Compost, CNN, etc.etc.
Print media has specifically been excluded by most state laws. CNN has a communist exemption clause granted by the 9th circus.
Pinging you as I have a fear now.
How long until a liberal left wing nut sues FR and shuts us down 60 days before the election for "promoting" candidates and "hate speech" against Democrats and other left wingers in general. I have a distinct fear that it is coming down the tracks like an out of control freight train.

Actually, you are right. If a media source covers a candidate at all, they are essentially giving him or her free advertising - which has a cash equivalent. So, Campaign Finance reform is the exact same as Media Finance Reform. It really is a far reaching and devastating decision.
