Are you saying TV and internet broadcasters have no rights too?
They should be held accountable for their actions yes. To spread lies such as Fox or Rush does should carry responsibility. FREEDOM of Press doesn't mean one can lie and get away with slander.
I think the founding fathers were smart enough to know that technology would change and we wouldn't be so literal and inflexible that we'd go to such ridiculous extremes. By your logic, only old-fashioned printing presses are protected, and newspapers that use computers and laser printers have no right to a "free press."
I never said the ForeFathers were dumb. As far as them knowing we would progress. You do realize most of our Advances have come in the last 100 yrs. Meaning life in 1800 wasn't much different then life in 1700. I never mentioned computers and such as not being allowed as press. Please don't play the role of Anal.
