When The Young Turks spent millions of dollars in air time endorsing Hillary, was that a campaign contribution?

No, for the same reason that astroturfing online about sending the troops into south side Chicago isn't a campaign contribution; it's not exchanging money for influence.

With your example, Hillary Clinton would be a billionaire for doing that inane dance on Ellen.
