> Should the government have no power to regulate media entities?

Yes, you got it. Perfect. We have 200 years of first amendment jurisprudence, there are limited cases where it's acceptable.



There's a VERY big difference between regulating a company's right to operate in the US and the government controlling what content is allowable while they operate. The latter is very strongly protected by over a century of jurisprudence. The former is not.


When you're making the decision entirely based on concerns with their speech, that starts sounding like a technicality to me.
