     While they acknowledged that the protection of speech is "a
     priority of the first order," 

A horrible headline; how about "Free Speech Scholars to Alex Jones: You're Not Entitled" as more accurately 
describing the situation?

Jones has a lot of protections... under various other governments he might be tossed in jail for what he says, even 
if he were speaking the truth. What he's not is entitled: he's not entitled to a spotlight on any private party's 
platform.
