again, I don't agree with the premise (not sure it's yours) that Rush needs a radio show in order to have free speech
he can stand outside the radio station and say whatever he wants
he can write books, podcast, etc...
no one is denying him free speech
No one is saying that he has to have a radio show!
He has one, and the speech he is saying on the radio is just as protected as it is on the street.
You dont have to have a radio show to have free speech, but he has one, and that speech is no different than anyone elses. If it wasnt, anyone could censor what is talked about on the radio so that only "approved propoganda" is discussed.
Free speech applies to radio, news, blogs, podcast, everything. You cannot censor someone from ANY medium simply because you dont like what he's saying.
If he has access to something to get his speech out there, its protected.
You logic is flawed. You think that since he could go somewhere else, its not a violation which is just wrong. With that logic, nothing is to stop them from banning his blog, cause he could talk on the street. Then they could ban him from talking on the street, cause he could just go talk at home. Youre logic leads to mass censorship.
