The conservative lobbying group Citizens United wanted to air a film critical of Hillary Clinton and to advertise the film during television broadcasts in apparent violation of the 2002 Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (commonly known as the McCain–Feingold Act or "BCRA").[2] In a 5–4 decision, the Court held that portions of BCRA §203 violated the First Amendment.

IOW, NBC and CNN won't get to show the whole debates but only the most memorable highlights.
That's gonna go over well with independents. A winning strategery!

Perhaps CNN and NBC can fill in the air space with meaningful in-depth interviews with the Democratic primary candidates.....
