We should not tolerate mass communications companies censoring the speech of American citizens.CBS is a mass communications company.
I'm an American.
If they don't let me voice an editorial on 60 Minutes are they censoring me?
I think you need a little more work on your definitions.

If they don't let me voice an editorial on 60 Minutes are they censoring me? Not you specifically, but the body of people represented by your views, which is a non trivial plurality. And no, they should not be allowed to do it. There used to be laws barring them from putting out politics without a rebuttal from the opposition side.

CBS, and other MSM are publishers. They create or select the content & are responsible for it. Twitter was a common carrier — they carried content without being responsible for it. By censoring content they don't like, Twitter has (IMHO) become a publisher, and could be liable for the content. IMHO,big fat law suits are inevitable.
