4. While you may not like it

CBS is well within they're constitutional rights to not air that commercial if they so choose.

Freedom of speech is just that freedom of speech not freedom of access to be published or broadcast.

For profit organizations such as networks or papers are not required to publish what they choose not to (the sole exception that I know of being political commercials/ads) if they were than you would have a government control of the press.
