Michael Kinsley: Citizens United got it right - latimes.com: "A pretty good argument, I've always thought, but it stumbles over media companies (as Kennedy notes at length in Citizens United). If "money isn't speech," as many a New York Times editorial has declared, may the government put a limit on how much a corporation can spend publishing a newspaper? The law Citizens United overturned actually exempted media companies from its spending limits. But the difficulty — impossibility, really — of defining a media company and explaining why it should have more rights than any other company suggests that a right granted to one company should be granted to all."
