James Wood is no different than your average panelist/guest in CNN/Fox News. They're going to opine what they can, sometimes they're gonna get their microphone shut down, sometimes they'll cut them off to commercials, sometimes they won't let them talk.
Can you sue CNN or Fox for that? No you can't. It's a private business, it's their platform and part of the condition of being on their platform is that you're going to stick to their rules and decisions.
The only gray area (not that gray, it's actually enforceable) is outright protected class discrimination. You know, sex, religion, race, national origin, etc.
The others are news services and twitter/fb/etc. are just platforms. I don't remember the details but I've heard/read arguments that they are (or could be) jeopardizing their "platform" status which would make them subject to different rules & regulations, namely legal liability for the things that are posted on their sites.

That's why I explicitly mentioned panelists/guests (which one could argue are not journalists per se, so they wouldn't be afforded freedom of the press rights). At the end of the day, an opinion from James Woods on twitter or Fox News is not really different.
What you're thinking about are the DMCA Safe Harbor provisions and Section 230 of the CDA (Communications Decency Act). As far as I know so far, the only exception is for online pedo porn.

Discrimination law doesn't protect political ideologies. It protect select classes, like sex, religion, etc.
We can continue circling around the subject, but the bottom line is that there's no such thing as 'fairness' protection on political speech when it comes to private entities.

Like James Woods might have a case if he claimed he was banned due to being Christian. But he would have to prove that in court, and obviously his tweet is not about religion.
