No, what you say is not true. For example, many of the "non-

There is no unlimited right to free speech across the airwaves.


The Framers of the Constitution did not know that radio was possible.

Radio is
a limited access, publicly controlled medium. As such, rules limiting
how it is assigned are entirely reasonable.


Frequencies are assigned by a government agency to prevent chaos.

Requiring a range of opinions, or not allowing opinions at all, do not
violate any Constitutional rights or restrictions.


ROTFLMAO!

So if, in someone's opinion, the government is violating the
Constitution, then he would not be allowed to express that opinion on
the radio? What if he manages to do so anyway? What steps will the
government then take?

Society can decide
how this medium is used.


That's just great, a Ministry of Propaganda.
