That has nothing to do with "free speech," though.
She works for a private company, which gets revenue from advertising from private companies, primarily. She can be fired if she negatively affects the company's ability to do business.
Normally they don't care what she says because crap sells and people listen. People listening equals ratings equals advertising revenue.
But when she goes overboard and the public backlash is so severe that major advertisers start pulling out, then she's screwed herself and can be fired.
That's not 1st Amendment stuff. That's business.
