The government doesn't guarantee you a platform for your speech. In the US, you have the right to free speech in general, but there are specific carveouts. For example, I can say here on HN "fuckity shitting fuck shit" and not be fined or imprisoned. But try saying it to a judge during a trial, and the outcome will likely be different. And it's the same for saying it on broadcast television at certain times of day and in certain contexts.
