The real issue is not having laws to prevent firing someone for writing political incorrect stuff on social media not that mainstream media amplifies whatever someone posts on social media.

Such laws, if existed, would be of limited help. Would you enjoy to continue working when your boss badly wants to fire you, and your colleagues badly want to have you fired, but they can't by the law? How soon would you leave by yourself? Being fired usually at least involves some severance pay. These laws could help though if it's just your boss who wants to fire you, but most of your colleagues would like to support you, even if silently.

Being fired usually at least involves some severance pay. Most (all?) of continental Europe actually has such laws, which is why you don't hear about american style firings here. So, your logic has been tested in practice and found out to be wrong.

    If you cant have something you don't have to want it either. It's irrational and a waste of time to want to see someone fired or to want to fire someone if it's not going to happen.

      There are always ways to make someone's employment feel miserable while staying on completely legal ground. If a boss wants someone fired but can't fire, the boss (and worse yet, coworkers) can "help" the person make the right decision and start looking for a new opportunity. This can give the victim some valuable paid time though.

  >> Would you enjoy to continue working when your boss badly wants to fire you Chances are the boss is just doing what's political correct too due the pressure put by various groups not what he/she badly wants.
