I wasn’t talking about the Constitution. I was talking about the barriers to entry for mass communication and the purpose for money as equivalent to speech. It’s not for printing presses and paper as you said it was); it’s for access to mass electronic distribution, media branding if you will.

When I said that “money isn’t speech, money is the press” I merely meant that by itself "freedom of speech" doesn’t intrinsically imply the right to spend money for “media branding” - but the right to print does. Necessarily.
