I can't see where any part of this will pass constitutional muster.

All their eggs are in the "appearance of corruption" basket as it pertains to the broadcasting financial limits.

Nothing appreared more corrupt than the crap the media churned out election night 2000. Calling and recalling election results. In Florida saying "polls are closed" when they were not yet closed in the Republican panhandle. On and on your can find "appearance of corruption" in the media in relation to political campaigns. Time for Media Reform! The first amendment no longer stands in our way. REFORM THE MEDIA - Get that nasty cash out of the political campaigns used only for "sham news", thinly veiled campaign ads, often negative, to support or oppose candidates of the Corporate fat cats who own media outlets choosing.

:-} Not only is it unconstitutional, according to David Mason, it is unenforceable.

It is McCains Folly.

PS: David Mason is the Chairman of the Federal Election Committee, the arm of the gov't charged with enforcing election laws, for those who were wondering.
