Freedom of the press only means freedom to use hand cranked printing presses. That is all the founders were thinking about. They did not anticipate high throughput roll to roll printing, radio, television, or the internet. Consequently freedom of the press does not apply to any of these things.

Only hand cranked printing press manufactured leaflets should be allowed. Freedom of the press should be banned for all other mediums.

... and in case you're wondering, yes, this is a metaphor for another on-going debate and an apt one.
