“FEC chairman warns agency’s desire to regulate media ‘alive and well'”

FOX News:

The chairman of the Federal Election Commission warned Wednesday that officials at the agency want to start regulating the media, despite a longstanding congressional ban on doing so.

“The impulse to regulate the media within the FEC is alive and well,” Chairman Lee E. Goodman told FoxNews.com in an interview.

Goodman pointed to several recent decisions and developments that stoke concerns about the commission — which is supposed to regulate money in federal elections — sticking its nose in the affairs of the press.
