Did you miss the part where I said "I'm not saying private entities should be subject to the 1st Amendment"?

My point was "free speech" is not synonymous with "The 1st Amendment". The former is a general concept and the latter is one way we protect it in the United States.

I didn't. I was merely pointing out that "free speech" (as we know it) has nothing to do with what you are able to say, while you seem to be operating off of a different definition.
