    I love how all the pro-business and free speech advocates of the past thirty years have not yet realised that these concepts are mutually exclusive.

      Mutual exclusion means either one is true or the other, but not both. But also what he said has no two specific concepts? What do you mean?

      Banning because of advertiser / regulator / government populism vs. It not being political?

        If you are pro-business then the media business gets to decide what speech is broadcast. If you are a free speech advocate then you would be against business controlling any of the media.
