OK, so the Pittsburg Gazette is a private organization, and no one can force them to publish anti-Trump messages if they don't wanna.

However, the same arguments could be said about a variety of past incidents that caused the usual Free Speech Warriors to get up in arms and declare that our first amendment rights were being attacked. So why the deafening silence this time?

Why is it that public voice cannot be fired from private entities for promoting pro-fascist views, but can be fired for opposing fascism?

Does free speech only apply when used to defend white supremacists the alt-right?

Are you addressing anyone here? Or are you just tilting at windmills again?
 
If I go to work for People's News and write an article entitled, "How to Skim Money Off Your Employee's Checks" I have a feeling my employment there wouldn't be long and storied.
