Seems like this would directly violate the first amendment with government not trying to intimidate private companies from broadcasting news.

Well, they didn't "technically" pass a law, so they have not violated anyone's first amendment. We've already set the precedent that big tech can censor content based on ideology, so why couldn't cable providers?

I mean, if you want to get your message out, all you have to do is start your own cable company that uses its own infrastructure. I'm not sure what the big deal is.
