Is this complaint valid? [View all]

I get why Correct the Record wants to mount a digital offensive against the Bernie Bros who have driven Hillary supporters away from the public parts of social media. And I heartily endorse it. I, myself, have been posting in GDP and have now joined Reddit and Discussionist to post Hillary positive messages.

But in the article below the author claims that CRT is using legal but questionable methods to coordinate with the Clinton campaign. My questions is, is this true? Because I don't see why they would need to coordinate in order to accomplish the goal.

Due to FEC loopholes, the Sunlight Foundation’s Libby Watson found this year that Correct the Record can openly coordinate with Clinton’s campaign, despite rules that typically disallow political campaigns from working directly with PACs.


“SuperPACs aren’t supposed to coordinate with candidates. The whole reasoning behind (Supreme Court decision) Citizens United rests on (PACs) being independent, but Correct the Record claims it can coordinate,” Watson told The Daily Beast. “It’s not totally clear what their reasoning is, but it seems to be that material posted on the Internet for free—like, blogs—doesn’t count as an ‘independent expenditure.’”
