So freedom of the press doesn’t apply to the corporation New York Times, Inc.?
- TexanFeller 3y agoDedicated news organizations are protected separately by freedom of the press, no need to make Exxon and Apple "persons" with free speech rights to maintain freedom of the press. There probably need to be additional restrictions on what constitutes a news organization though otherwise Google might start calling itself "the press" and partisan organizations will own the press. Things like not engaging in other forms of business or taking money from lobbyists and political campaigns.
- ceejayoz 3y agoIt sounds nice, but "freedom of the press only for approved entities" tends not to work out that well.
- pastacacioepepe 3y agoIt's not hard, really. Are you a corporation? If no, it doesn't concern your freedom.
