And the Food and Drug Administration exists in part to supervise food safety but it can't use its power to shut down Olive Garden over a culture war. What are we doing here?

*Please note, I'm not in favor of censorship, it's just that this analogy is inaccurate

Olive Garden isn't given access to something it requires to operate at the pleasure of the government. Broadcast TV on the other hand...

All of broadcast TV is allowed because the government says it is. ABC/CBS/NBC/FOX don't own the radio spectrum they are operating on, the government does and they grant the right to use it to those companies. There's a long list of things that the government requires them to do in order to keep this pleasure. One of them used to be the Saturday morning cartoons. I miss those.
