So Congress could set limits on how much money the New York Times could spend to cover federal elections?

  News coverage of federal elections is vastly different than candidate advocacy.

    Agreed. But news agencies seem to cross that divide when they feel the need to endorse political candidates.

    It 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?

    LOL what? The New York Times has endorsed a Democratic president for the last 50 years or something.

    Is it? I think instead of funding a superPAC I'll start a news organization to cover the election as I see fit.
