The difference is that no one wanted to prevent you from going.

Should I just post snowflake or melt repeatedly? Is that how I get up votes?

1. Are you saying all these advertisers (who were supporting Sean Hannity with their money to begin with) are liberals? Does that make any sense to you?
2. How are they against free speech? If anything, they are exercising the first amendment by not supporting someone whose speech they disagree with.

The huge difference here is media outlets are reaching out to Hannity sponsors to ask them why they are advertising with a program that has a viewpoint/opinion that the outlet doesn't like.

I'm sorry, I don't like Hannity, but this is bullshite with advertisers manipulating the media to meet their criteria. Sorry, even as light of a news source as Hannity is, if you support Don fricking Lemon, then you should support a hack like Hannity.

Free market > socialism. Deal with it.

How has Sean Hannity's right to free speech been impeded?
It hasn't.
The free market hasn't been "violated" either.

Nobody is preventing Hannity from talking either.
What are you trying to get at?

A media outlet, and competitor of Hannity, took it upon themselves to call sponsors of Hannity and ask them why they are supporting someone that is covering a story they disagree with.
That is not only pathetic, but borders on complete insanity.

Wish it were so. USAA is a great bank, and a decent insurer. But I let them know today that I'm out.

I don't want Hannity around, but you're failing to see the forest for the trees. Advertisers have already ruined the media. They and the media at large got greedy about the ratings during the Simpson trial, and advertisers have been controlling the narrative ever since. You can thank the advertisers and media's attention whoring for Trump as President, not Sean Hannity.
If it comes down to me allying myself with Hannity or the advertisers, then I'm going with Hannity. Hannity should be allowed to hang himself, not the advertisers who want this country to turn into an oligarchy. Sean is a stupid a-hole, but better him than an America controlled by advertisers and turn it into Idiocracy.

Its a common left winger tactic. The did it with Brietbart too.
The road forward in this country looks bleak. This election pushed those frickers off the rails.

Free market at work baw. If you're surprised by this, then you ain't seen shite. Hannity got played. He shouldn't have run with a conspiracy theory. There's a reason why Alex Jones is limited to the internet when it comes to distribution.
