It's not unreasonable to reference federal protections for the 'free press' when the scope of the discussion is focused on the US in general. >Please stop trying to hijack discussion of free speech and free press (both of which are human rights / social institutions that extend beyond the scope of protections provided via the court due to the First Amendment) into being discussions of the First Amendment in the name of "education". At the end of the day, whatever you choose to identify as "human rights / social institutions that extend beyond the scope of protections provided via the court due to the First Amendment" don't really matter unless they're institutionalized and codified. Rights that have explicit protections written into law are the only rights that are backed by the State's right to use of coercive force.
