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. 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.

Necessarily. Disagree there. The only difference is the medium by which ideas are communicated. That "branding" is typically a legacy of massive capital spending.
