Nope, it’s a natural right. Hence the “Congress shall make no law…” part. “Freedom of press won't help you in that case” is nonsensical.

- WHATDOESIT 4y agoFreedom of press won't help you get your articles into somebody's newspaper is what I meant, or do you disagree with that? As I understand it freedom of press protects the right to create/publish newspapers, not the right to post content into (any) newspapers. Media are private property and that would infringe on the rights of the owners.
