Money is not speech, despite the Citizens United ruling.
- twoodfin 12y agoSo Congress could set limits on how much money the New York Times could spend to cover federal elections?
- lhc- 12y agoNews coverage of federal elections is vastly different than candidate advocacy.
- uptown 12y agoAgreed. But news agencies seem to cross that divide when they feel the need to endorse political candidates.
- twoodfin 12y agoIt doesn't matter how different it is: If money is not speech, why couldn't Congress prevent the Times from spending money to write and print articles about candidates?
- gfrdgre4 12y agoLOL what? The New York Times has endorsed a Democratic president for the last 50 years or something.
- seanflyon 12y agoIs it? I think instead of funding a superPAC I'll start a news organization to cover the election as I see fit.
