Some here are asking what is wrong with what happened. He wasn't arrested. He wasn't fined. He wasn't censored, etc. The staff of the paper was punished by having their wages reduced, so one could argue that they were fined.
Jail isn't the only form of punishment there is. If someone is punished for utilizing what is a constitutional right, then what weight does that hold if a business can use money (or, according to the Supreme Court, "free speech") to punish them?
At this point, though, we're at loggerheads since we can't seem to agree on what constitutes free speech and what constitutes violating one's right to free speech.
