A question about Faux, 'Soft Money' and GOP advertising...

I have noticed a trend a Faux. Whenever the GOP release a commerical, *ALL* the talking head shows and news programs show the spot, over and over again (to discuss the ads merits, etc). Well, as the GOP are raising a stink about Move On ads, isn't this the same thing?

Also, a few weeks when Bush released a Kerry attack ad on the internet (apparently it was illegal to air on TV)., Faux plauyed the spot over and over again. Once again, they claimed it was to discuss the spot.

Isn't all this 'free advertising' illegal, or at least, 'Soft Money' contribtution.
