Can a newspaper refuse to run a letter or advertisement? | Freedom Forum Institute
The Court wrote:
“A newspaper is more than a passive receptacle or conduit for news, comment, and advertising. The choice of material to go into a newspaper, and the decisions made as to limitations on the size and content of the paper, and treatment of public issues and public officials — whether fair or unfair — constitute the exercise of editorial control and judgment. It has yet to be demonstrated how governmental regulation of this crucial process can be exercised consistent with First Amendment guarantees of a free press as they have evolved to this time.” |
And that right to a free press, and freedom of speech, includes the right to come to this forum and criticize the publication that CLAIMS to be a newspaper, for its obvious bias and lack of balance.
