The problem, IMHO, is that McCain-Feingold stifles free speech.

When you talk about preventing "special interest groups" from speaking, what you are really talking about is preventing individuals from speaking.

Groups like Greenpeace, the Sierra Club and even the NRA are made up of private citizens. To say that we, the people, may not speak out about a candidate's positions in the period of time closest to an election - but the media can - is wrong, IMHO.
