No, it's because the First Amendment rights of billion dollar corporations are the First Amendment rights of the press, religious organizations, and individual Americans. Don't let your hatred of corporations or the left blind you to the fact that it's the same right regardless of who exercises it.
And "I disagree with what you say but I defend to the death your right to say it" doesn't imply that I must allow you a platform. Much less that the government must force me, under threat of violence, to allow you a platform. Implicit to the right to accept speech is the right to reject speech. Compelled speech is not free speech.

Sure, not necessarily yours, what is the topic in this case. But honesty would demand to admit that this is also not what is the issue between different positions.
