You have no right to free speech using assets that dont belong to you.

Nothing stops you from creating your own website, or posting comments on other websites which allow it.

The first Amendment applies to the government. You mother can tell you to shut up.

Just to note......the OP didn't mention the 1st amendment. He only asked if it was right for the press to shut down free speech.

It's still shutting down free speech even if they are allowed to here.

Where did I say that you have the right to free speech using assets that don't belong to you?

Notice the operative words in bold:
Quote:
Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
It's clear the First Amendment is a limitation of government power and it is also clear that, once again, pghquest has proven he doesn't know what he's talking about.

Um, by Congress not making laws limiting free speech, then affects everyone, not just government. Like I said, where the hell did you get your crazy theories from?

For example, you could stand outside a restaurant with a sign saying their food sucks, as long as your not on the property grounds of the restaurant.

Government doesnt have a dam thing to do with it..
