Do you know why you're the only ones still arguing with me?
Take a moment to work it out.

The freedom to publish the news isn't to protect the imaginary rights of an organization, it's to protect the right of the writers/presenters/whatever.
The corporation is the presenter. Congress can't censor them. The corporation has rights. It's not even that tough.

Corporate laws are constitutional? Smiley: laugh Corporate laws are made up state to state and the fed does have some overlaying laws but you don't give up your rights as an individual just because you work for a corporation or because you own one.
I'd didn't even suggest that corporate laws are constitutional. Are you even reading?

Which is why you're unlikely to ever hold elected office in this country.

Maybe you don't understand what the word law means. Is that the problem? I am happy to take you by the hand and lead you through the wonderful word of common three letter words. One would think you would be onto the bigger or more obscure ones by now, but hey, I realize not everyone's upbringing was as privileged as mine. If there's anything you need, I am here for you.
Perhaps you should have taken the time during your privileged upbringing to learn how to think conceptually and not try to interpret literally a language steeped in nuance. If you can't re-read that and get what was actually said, you should stop trying to play.

Their rights don't stem from the fact that they are a group of individuals, they have rights because of a court decision in 1886 that declares corporations to have person-hood and all the rights that entails.
When you're referring to the law, yes. When you're speaking of rights, no. Rights are not granted by law. They are inherent to the individual and the group. They are simply protected legally by the constitution.

That just makes you naive. Age & wisdom can cure that.
