The mockingbird controlled media is now the de facto propaganda arm of the government.

Employees do not have first amendment rights.

it isn’t a first snendment issue. She’s an employee of Fox, and Fox can set their own guidelines.

No one has a “first Amendment right” to appear on a cable news channel.

The[1st amendment]constraint applies to the Government, not to the media.

First Amendment protections only apply if the person or entity is a governmental official/organization.

That would not be a violation of the First Amendment.

I agree with all of the above. And from a purely legalistic and libertarian perspective that's the end of the argument. The problem, though, is that the principle of free and open speech used to be a cultural value that was broadly respected by individuals and institutions. We have lost that and it is to our detriment.
