Sounds like dictatorship in fracking row

What right does Stuart Davies have in threatening a local paper, by telling his friends not to buy it just because the paper could print letters from people in favour of fracking.

What has happened to freedom of the press and free speech, this sounds like dictatorship from him as the paper can only print what he wants.

Does he not realise that fewer papers sold could mean people losing jobs. Did he not think about this before he put pen to paper? Doesn’t sound like it.
