(March 9, 2017 at 6:18 pm)Tea Earl Grey Hot Wrote: So it's illegal for political figures to endorse businesses e.g. Kellyanne Conway's endorsement of the Ivanka Trump line of apparel. But what about news organizations? Newspapers, News Channels, News websites, etc., are businesses too. When Trump for instance publically endorses Fox News, Breitbart and Alex Jones, is that an abuse of power?

Good question. News outlets are technically businesses. Seems like this would qualify, but I'm certainly no expert.
