" The opinion is generated under the new McCain-Feingold campaign-finance law, which prohibits corporate-funded ads that identify a federal candidate before a primary or general election."
It is not an advertisement. You have to *pay* to see it. You opt-in, so-to-speak. There is no legal ground here. This is dangerous and could be applied to any media that criticizes the president according to their logic.

2. It's the adverts that may be banned |
|
"Since the FEC considers the Republican presidential convention scheduled to begin Aug. 30 a national political primary in which Bush is a candidate, Moore and other politically oriented filmmakers could not air any ad mentioning Bush after July 30."
So they may have to change some of their adverts.
