But there already are restrictions. When was the last time you saw a cigarette ad? If I wanted to run some scenes from my latest porn film on TV in my ad, could I get someone to take it? What about a drug manufacturing making claims about medical effectiveness?

I see your point, but each of those examples is restricted because the topic is regulated. Nobody can put porn in their ad on the public airwaves, not just those exempted by some clause.

If it's ok for those who own the means of transmission to speak their minds on politics (not porn), and those same owners are willing to sell me time on their means of transmission, who is the government to tell me I can't buy it to talk about politics?
