araine: Sorry for misunderstanding.

Here are my thoughts:

The 'fairness doctrine' was ended under Reagan, so the broadcast media no longer have a legal responsibility to air 2 or more sides of an issue.

As far as campaign finance law, it might be argued that MM's film is like a PAC-funded activity, and as such, if it's against one candidate, but does not promote another, I believe CFR rules don't apply. (CFR is kind of a sham, anyway, by comparison to the McCain Feingold attempt.)

Good question.
