FEC Mulls Rules on Regulating Blogs

E-Commerce Times covers the continuing debate over how much websites - especially blogs - should be considered campaign media activities, subject to the Federal Election Commissions rules and limitations. As the comment period begins on proposed rules, the debate is fully engaged. Separately, in a forum sponsored by the Pew Center broadcast on CSPAN on Friday, FEC commissioners fielded questions, their answers suggesting that they hoped to design rules that would avoid the need for blogs to provide disclosures, register as political entities, or face limitations of the quantity of their coverage - which represents a tone shift from comments made by some commissioners two weeks ago.
