James Pinkerton offers this Newsday oped on the Michael Moore campaign finance controversy. Pikerton incorrectly characterizes the scope of the portion of McCain-Feingold at issue in the controversy. For a suggestion coming from the far left in Counterpunch, see this suggestion: Moore “should hire either the most incompetent or rightwing-politically-biased legal representation available to defend him against these charges….If Moore launched a thoroughly incompetent legal defense to these charges and lost he could take a significant step towards establishing more balanced news coverage on the American airwaves.”
