I don't care about "legally." I care about whether we live in a society where we have diverse opinions, and people feel free to express themselves. If we have a system where:

- Market forces drive companies to support one point of view in media, and censor everything else;

- Market forces drive everyone to work under draconian NDAs; and

- Market forces drive companies not to hire people who engage in WrongThink

We've got a broken system where no one has free speech, no matter what the laws say.

And no, you can't successfully start a competing company, because market forces mean that companies which optimize to market forces win.

I don't care about conservatives, liberals, or victim complexes. I care about having reason discourse, civic debate, and free speech. If a social, political, and economic system doesn't allow that, we've got a broken system. As a footnote, every conservative I've spoken to thinks I'm a leftwing nutjob, and every liberal, a rightwing nutjob. If you disagree with either party line on anything (even not in the opposing direction), that's how you're viewed. The polarization and stereotyping is crazy.
