Right there in the first amendment, freedom of the press.
Even before the sacred right to have a fucking assault rifle to “protect” your family, freedom of speech and of the press is literally the first right that the creators of the Bill of Rights thought to put to paper.
Of course, you can’t make someone’s head explode from 800 yards with a newspaper article, so who cares about freedom of speech anyway?
