No looking

What you think a free press means.
what the fuck is free press
I mean, its hard for me to defined as well
Amendment I. 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.
but usually I think that press and government should be independent from each other
Stop. You don't get it.
Khan, would you like a go at it?
A free press to me means allowing independant agencies reporting on events and publishing oppnion peices for the purpose of informing the public
No YOU don't get it
You get THIS
Wrong.

The term for the media as 'the press' is slang.
In the same way 'cop' is slang.
The fuzz
origannly the press reffered to printing presses for news pappers
@Scribblehatch what even is that? .. and what was the -- about earlier randomly? 😛
but press here refers to the 'speech', right
Speech in written form.
When you claim free speech in written word, you're wrong.
It's freedom of the press
get it
But that's the trick being played here.
CNN under the constitution gets no special rights.
Press passes are a privilege
The courts have decided that "The Press" reffers to news orginazations in general, this series of rulings has been around for awhile
The courts are wrong.
That'd be like the courts deciding that the second applies to cosplay
You have the right to bear arms.
So, press passes are not protected under the first amendment?
WHAT THE HELL
