The First Amendment applies even to publications that generate revenue, like the vast majority of publications. Would you think because you have to buy the Washington Post newspaper that the government can pass laws dictating what they can print in the paper? Heck, Trump would have legislation in the works now to force the Washington Post to publish only his non-fake news.
The First Amendment protects all Speech, with only a handful of exceptions that are far more important than the location of where I saw a deer.
Not sure why so many people think Freedom of Speech only applies when one speaks and no compensation or financial gain is involved...????
