I would say that none of the companies should. Only people. Which wouldn't stop the determined companies from acting through people anyway, but at least then we could have a reasonable claim of having government of the people rather than government of the legally fictitious entities.

But companies are comprised of people, and those people wouldn't be allowed to express an opinion that is political in nature (and anything can be construed as being political in nature) while operating on behalf of their company. So either media wouldn't be allowed to have an editorial slant or carry political commentary, or media would be afforded special treatment and rights that no other corporations (from titans like Wal-Mart down to grassroots organizations like Citizens United) would receive. Neither of those seem very tenable to me.
