I don't know what you mean by "pushing"...
"spokesman" will produce the editorial. It will be about 30 seconds long.
"sponsor" will sponsor the editorial by advertising their products before or after the editorial airs...just like any other program.
Sponsor is paying to air the editorial, but that doesn't make the editorial an advertisement, just like a sponsor pays to air reruns of "friends", but that doesn't make friends an advertisement.

If I understand correctly, you're saying the sponsor will only pay for an ad on the condition that the station also plays a specific political editorial required by the sponsor?

Yeah...just like with any show. Sponsors always choose what the ad will be attached to.

If someone is paying to dictate the programming content, that seems like an ad to me. Wouldn't you agree?

Then almost every show on TV is an advertisement. Sponsors often have a great deal of control over the content of tv programming, including script/casting changes. In syndication deals, sponsors often pick and choose which episodes will air. I don't see how this is any different.

It would be an advertisement, because no tv network would put the koch brothers' nonsense up for free, and label it an 'editorial', and disguise it among ads. The koch brothers would have to pay them to play these games. The koch brothers wouldnt receive any money from the 'editorial', and therefore they're not doing it for economic gain, but for political gain. It comes out of their paid ad limit.

TV networks would sell their own children to get a sponsor, what are you talking about? TV networks routinely allow sponsors to have a great deal of control over content. This isn't anything new. If control is the test, then almost everything on sponsored television is an advertisement.

I agree. Maybe Fox News would do it for free, but as discussed above, their viewership already like Koch, so it's not really an ad.

That's his point - if the sponsor is paying to dictate the content, then it's an ad. If the sponsor would do it for free, then it's part of the programming.

So almost everything on sponsored TV is an ad. Sponsors almost always pay to dictate the content.

Well, thats fine, everything can be an ad. If you're paying to dictate political ads, those payments are subject to the cap.

I suppose sponsors should be careful on which things they wish to dictate and which things they do not. If there is a spending limit on paying for political speech, then they are subject to it if they wish to dictate political speech on broadcasting stations.

So, do we all agree that almost all of television, a good portion of magazine articles, and a good portion of newspaper articles are advertisements under this definition?

If they wish to use their sponsorship to dictate political speech, then they are subject to the cap. I say, any political speech that is sponsored is subject to the cap.

No, they are not advertisement, they are a product being sold. They are actually advertised for!

So then we need to go back to the test and figure out something that works. The notion that sponsor control of content = advertising is too broad and covers a lot of things that you don't want to call ads.

Sponsor controlled political speech of any kind is subject to the cap.

That pretty much makes everything subject to the cap.

Not really. It prevents sponsors from controlling political content unless it is part of their spending limit.
