I believe we should remember that the arms of 1789 were smoothbore Kentucky rifles and that discharge was accomplished by a flint-lock striking a steel, and sending a spark into some gunpowder that ignited the propellant and sent the bullet (or buckshot) on its wiggly way.

With this logic, freedom of the press would not include radio or television.

According the Supreme Court, the (Republican) Congress, and the (Republican) President, it doesn't. At least not within 60 days of a primary election, or 30 days of a primary election.
