"The distinction is necessary because there is no first amendment right to advocate for the election or defeat of a particular candidate in the 60 days before an election. Under the first amendment, you can only advocate that a candidate should be for or against a particular proposition or issue (although most believers in CFR do not recoginize this right either). Under the first amendment, only newspapers and TV networks can express opinions regarding the merits of candidates in the election run-up."
You "are" being sarcastic, right???
