I cant believe we have to explain this, over and over,    every time a media figure loses a job (or just gets a for-show    suspension) over saying something stupid, but: Losing your job    for saying something that embarrasses your private    employereven if that is a media outletis not a free speech    issue. It is not a First Amendment issue. It may be dumb, it    may be justified, but it is not a constitutional violation. It    is not for Phil Robertson, Alec Baldwin, Martin Bashir, Don    Imus, The Dixie Chicks, Rush Limbaugh, or anyone else. People    changing the channel or not buying your products because of    what you said is not censorship; nor is losing a business    deal for same.  <\/p>\n<p>    Cable TV is not the government, thank God.
