The issue for me isn't the 1st amendment rights, which is a red herring in this case (he isn't being thrown in jail for what he said). It's the outlandish hypocricy shown by SiriusXM. I listen every day, and Anthony says way worse things and has been for years. None of them are outside FCC guidelines, and they've put up with it all this time.

Once it got in the headlines, the corporate lawyers shit themselves and decided they had to "protect the company" and fire him. They could have easily done a "we're handling this in house" type of deal, but nobody does that anymore (except the unions).

Was there a lot of public outcry that their free speech rights were being trampled when they said stupid shit?

I don't recall many former vice presidential or even congressional candidates voicing their aid and support.

I don't even recall really major members of the media trying to defend them.

Good attempt to create a false equivalency though.

You have to excuse the resident moron. His hero was just fired.

[Riccardo]

My hero?

You mean these Anthony and Dopie guys that I have never listened to, not even once? Didn't defend this dope for a minute - good lord are you a blithering idiot...
