It's not at all a non sequitur. For any organization (as they are not a business any longer should this pass) to retain non-profit status, they must meet government mandated regulations of operation. That's a fact. The regulations required to keep non-profit status are more restrictive than those for operating as a business. Fact. A newspaper operating as a non-profit is under more government restrictions, thus less free. There is a crystal clear connection.In that case, we don't have freedom of religion either, since the incomes of churches aren't taxed.
That's a good rebuttal. However, the churches are not in the business of informing the public. We do not have a Pravda or any other sort of state-run press here. Of course, this is not state run; but I am VERY uncomfortable with any government influence in the press. Very. It's a foot in a door of a dangerous situation.
I am also not a fan of assisting those businesses who have made poor business decisions. They should fail. Business darwinism.
Your argument is a non sequitur. Your earlier statement was that allowing media outlets to operate as non-profits (and therefore be exempt from taxes) would limit their freedom. That's really no different from arguing that since churches aren't tax, their freedoms are also limited.

Are you sure about that?
