While talk radio hosts often warned during the campaign that free speech could be trampled by an all-Democratic majority, the broadcast networks have failed to react to this dangerous threat to the First Amendment.

TV networks don't care because this only applies to radio.

In practice that might be true, but in actuallity it applies to both radio and broadcast TV. Why it doesn't appear to apply to TV anymore is that the broadcast networks no longer have what was known as editorial viewpoints, as they once did. Instead they just cover their editorial position under the cloak of "news."
