Where is it written in the First Amendment that a "Free Press" gets to break the law.

Exactly. In fact the Feds should now investigate the Cleveland Plain Dealer and their source since they have already admitted to having illegally leaked documents!!!

Exactly. Freedom of the Press means that the government won't interfere with what you write, will not limit what you say. It does not mean that under the banner of 'journalist' you get extra protection and different laws. Sorry, no dice.
