Blogs, YouTube prompt campaign finance ruling | Politics and Law - CNET News

Blogs, YouTube prompt campaign finance ruling | Politics and Law - CNET News: "The New York Times endorses political candidates (in 2008, it endorsed Barack Obama). So does the New York Post (it chose John McCain).
Those endorsements on the eve of a presidential election were permitted under U.S. election laws--even though both newspapers are owned by corporations with market capitalizations in the billions of dollars. But the tiny nonprofit called Citizens United, funded mostly by individual donations, was barred from sharing its own political views."
