2. True, but this amounts to free campaigning with no chance for rebuttal

Look at what happened in '04, when Limbaugh, Hannity, and other RWers gave loads of free airtime to the Swiftboat people. They were given lots of opportunities to tell their side of the story, but I don't recall hearing very much from Kerry's side. With such a close election, this very well could have played an important role.
