We are talking about it right now, exercising our right to free speech.
No one violated the newspaper's right to free speech, he even sued the newspaper and the newspaper won.
The issue is that people assume that the exercise of this right is "free" without any cost. This event demonstrates that there is a high price that must be paid by journalists.
