The problem you seem to be eliding is that corporate censorship can be just as odious as governmental censorship. The question boils down to which right is more important? The right to speak your mind, or the right to (not) associate with people who make comments you don't like?
I personally think that if you hire someone to comment, you probably ought to allow them to comment and let the ratings sort themselves out.
This, on the other hand, appears quite clearly to be a quid pro quo in order to get a merger/buyout approved by an FCC that has already been weaponized against other critics, something you neglected to mention for some reason or other.
