Free Speech or Press?

I'm no lawyer but,

Free speech is the only way to argue this that I can see and only with a private "sole owner" publication. The person could claim their speech is suppressed why others speech is supported by the government.

The Freedom of the Press does not guarantee the government will disseminate what the press has written to the public at the same rate or with the same openness as others does it? I believe this is why news papers are privately delivered.*

Legally

there are at least two sides, and often a case hinges on which is best at finding precedents and arguing the case. A case such as this could go on for years.

Politically is another matter altogether, however. If enough people express being upset with this, small publishers, small business, and their customers, that should be sufficient. In that case the legal issues would not be decided by a court but by public opinion and how the politicians thnk THEY will be judged by the public.
