Of course. All publications exercise editorial control over content. Always have. Publishers decide what books to publish, magazine decide which articles to publish, radio and TV stations decide which programs to air. DU decides which types of posts to allow.

That was all true when the Bill of Rights was written. Where did the Founding Fathers say that every platform must allow every voice?
