On the death of the Free Press

Just read this.

So....

Where are all the people screaming about "separation of press and state"?

It is, after all, in the exact same amendment! In case you haven't read it lately, here it is:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. — United States Constitution, Amendment 1
