> Speech can be well-regulated, just like other constitutional rights
Broadly, the opinion of SCOTUS has been that speech cannot be regulated outside of very particular circumstances, and those circumstances have, in general, been shrinking over time (from undefined to "clear and present danger" to "imminent lawless action" to clarify that "imminent lawless action" really means right now, and not just relatively soon)
The Fairness Doctrine isn't a regulation on speech, it's a regulation on use of government licensed airwaves.
