Pea you are as full of crap as the proverbial Thanksgiving turkey.
"In May 1864, Joseph Howard, fomer New York Times reporter, gadfly, and journalistic hack fallen on hard times, hoped to make a killing on the gold market with a phony presidential proclamation. He teamed with another out-of-favor journalist and drafted a text disguised as an Associated Press dispatch that acknowledged recent military failures, called for a day of national fasting, humiliation and prayer, and announced a draft call for 400,000 more men. Copies were sent to the New York papers about three o'clock in the morning, after the close of the normal business day and while the final type forms were being locked up. There were, however, enough errors in style and presentation that most papers were at least skeptical and at best conviced it was a hoax. Most, that is, except for the World and the Journal of Commerce.
The bogus story appeared in the editions of May 8, 1864, and in the normal course of business, was picked up and put on the wire by the New York headquarters of the Associated Press. In the normal course of business, gold rose by 10 percent. Also, in the normal course of business, New York military commander Gen. John Dix asked Washington for verification and the Associated Press general agent in New York sent a query to the Washington bureau: How had they missed such an important story. Quick action by the government blocked transport of the papers on a ship just about to sail for Europe, and timely bulletins published in most papers knocked the story back down, along with the price of gold.
On the presumption that the World and the Journal were responsible for the fraud, General Dix was sent to sieze the offenders...The source of the hoax was soon tracked to Howard and his friend, who each spent a few months in jail as a consequence."
That's from Blue & Gray in Black & White: Newspapers in the Civil War by Brayton Harris, pp 106-107. So please point out where the First Amendment gives a paper the right to commit financial fraud?
My post documented Lincoln's efforts to interrupt newspaper free speech, and that quote demonstrated it.
Hopefully, you had a happy Thanksgiving full of crap-free turkey.
