Carrying Romney's speech LIVE?  Isn't this ILLEGAL?

Thu Dec 06, 2007 at 07:58:07 AM PDT

Okay, I'm no legal expert but tell me something.

I just turned on the TV and was flipping channels and CNN and MSNBC are carrying Mitt Romney's speech LIVE.

Yes, they are carrying the speech, apparently in its entirety, LIVE.

Like it's some kind of "Big Deal" to America.  It's not.  It's just some wanna-be politician trying to b.s. his way into office.  

Can someone tell me how this is NOT breaking campaign finance law?

This is a FREE CAMPAIGN COMMERCIAL FOR ROMNEY.  A DONATION.  FROM MAJOR NEWS CORPORATIONS.  TWO OF THEM!  (heck, I didn't even check Foks News, so it's probably three!)

Imagine if Boeing gave Romney his own 767 to fly around in.  THAT'S what this is equivalent to.
