You're starting with dumb axioms. Free speech is obviously not a self consistent principle in the way that you're talking about it. Unregulated speech with no protection for fair apportionment of the channels of speech is very obviously not free. A silly example, do I have the right to speak exactly out of phase with you so that you can't be heard from some directions? Do I have a right to buy every local news station and have them all report the same thing? Both of these are me restricting your speech with my speech.
