So the "progressive" faction in U.S. politics has been all riled up for some time now about the Citizens United ruling, because Freedom of Speech is clearly only for individuals, not for corporations*. On another front, the Right to Keep and Bear Arms only applies to the sorts of muzzle-loading weapons that were in common use in 1789**.
OK, fine.
But! It seems that Freedom of the Press is only for the corporate press, not for some guy with a manually-operated printing press in his shed***.
Glad that's all sorted out.
* Except that not-for-profit corporations supporting Progressive causes must have freedom of speech.
** Which, generally being over .50 caliber, must be prohibited as Destructive Devices.
*** Nor his modern counterpart, some guy with a blog.
