Well then it seems the 1st amendment ought to be fixed if it's that obviously broken.

  No. Free speech is a natural right enshrined in our Constitution, and it’s not “obviously broken”. It’s a fundamental principle of our country. Journalist must be free to report. Now, they could certainly be more responsible, as in this case - but it’s not the governments prerogative to make them so.

    Sounds to me like it's not only broken but it should be moved from the constitution to the bible if it's that religious for you.

      The first amendment guarantees freedom of religion, freedom of the press, and freedom of speech. Those are fundamental values of the American culture from its beginning. That's not "broken" just because you don't like it. We chose a different path from the broken European model.

        Well good luck with your broken path, we tried them all in Europe. Don't forget we have literally two thousand years of experience.

          Yeah, feudalism is definitely a better path. lol. You are aware that our founding fathers had the benefit of all that thousands of years of experience to inform how they created our form of government, right?
