You mean like FCC fining people over Janet Jackson's boob? You have freedom of the press, when you own a press. But the spectrum is not owned by the licensees

You have freedom of the press, when you own a press. But the spectrum is not owned by the licensees. There are rules. Limits.
I am not for government owning the spectrum. But that's the current situation.
