Blogs and TV and radio and print media should all be treated the same, by seeing to it that the whole Campaign Finance (non)Reform act is sent to the dustbin. It was poorly conceived, poorly written, solves nothing, and acts in direct opposition to the 1st Amendment. You’re absolutely correct, Actus.

I don't see why blogs should get different treatment than others. “You may recall back in March we learned that the FEC was considering new rules that would regulate political communication on the Internet under the Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform law, which means that bloggers would be subject to the regulations as well.”

Nowadays if you want protected free speech, put a crucifix in a jar of urine (or flush a Bible). Blogging might bring legal penalties - if the feds get their way.

Even though we all knew in our hearts it would die, www.overlawyered.com, said it was officially dead today. That's good news from a lawyer. ;) And I read something this afternoon concerning the city of San Francisco’s attempt to regulate bloggers.
