We don't need to break the law Jim. As I read it, corporations are forbidden to make contributions and may not advertise 60 days before an election. Since most media outlets are corporations, this would include them. Time spent discussing issues and candidates should be considered "in kind" contributions. Therefore, if the media mentions candidates or issues they would be breaking the law.

Perhaps we could be instrumental in seeing to it that any media outlet that was not absolutely fair to all candidates and parties be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. I believe that would include jail time for the corporate officers and the board of directors. :o)

no, the press will be exempted no matter what the law actually says

My guess is, if this becomes law the broadcast media will not even accept the so-called illegal advertising. It would probably be next to impossible to break that portion of the law.

I miss protesting. How about picketing newspapers with signs asking why they can say whatever they want but we can't? Might enlist radio stations in the cause. They are banned from running some political ads while newspapers are not.
