Take the following as truth: In the United States in 1996, big organizations funded the general election sites that everyone used--ABC, the Washington Post , and the National Journal fathered PoliticsNow, and Time and CNN sired AllPolitics -- and most major papers and TV channels, notably the new MSNBC, had election pages.
Then the following statement: "The big organizations were not allowed to lobby presidential candidates." is true, false, or inconclusive?
