Candidate endorsements (and political advertising in general) are core political speech. You can't outlaw it in the US.

Are candidate endorsements by corporations (e.g CNN) allowed? That sounds like something that should be banned.
Sure, corporations get free speech protections too. Journalists even moreso.
And while I'm inclined to believe not everyone should have free speech, I'm also aware that denying it is authoritarian.
Of course they’re “allowed”. Congress shall make no law…
The New York Times Company can say anything they want about anything, and especially political candidates.
