Maybe they are supposed to be that way but few news sources are.

There may be some subtle influences on the part of a writer, but I hope that's not what we're talking about. Pick any day in advance of the next week, Monday-Friday, and we'll check PBS.org for bias....or if you like the Washington Post...politics section.

Also even if the mainstream media was unbiased that doesn't address the fact that campaign finance shuts up groups other then the media.

I've been trying to understand the last part of that phrase for some time. I've asked, perhaps not well stated or perhaps misunderstood, for some definitive explanation to that statement. The statement The fact that campaign finance shuts up groups other then the media. is a claim. If you would like me to believe it's a fact, that's another matter. Then there's "what's unconstitutional?". Is it one part, one section, one line of the campaign finance law or is it the law in it's entirety?

I haven't read the campaign finance law, I did read some of the drafts. I'd be happy even if someone said, I think Section 1.2.b(3)is unconstitutional because....blah, blah, blah.

On election day, there is a certain distance from the polling place in which I can't approach people with my political literature...is that a 1st amendment infringement?
