Free speech doesn't mean you can write whatever you want, for whatever you want. If you're from Pakistan and thinks the US is the cause of all evil in this world, you can freely say that in the US. If you're Iraq and say Saddam is a fool, you will be killed.

In a job, you are restricted in what you can say. You think a journalist can just say what he wants? Think again, the reputation of the entire company is not going to be lost because someone chooses to go anti-America. He has rules to follow, if he breaks them, he gets fired. That has nothing to do with free speech. No one is stopping them from starting their own newspaper and writing whatever they want.
