freedom of religion... somewhere in the Constitution I guess they can find no freedom of speech, no freedom to assemble, no freedom of religion... then wait.. then can there still be a freedom of the press?

There never has been, in living memory.

The Associated Press was founded in the middle of the Nineteenth Century. And since all journalists are associated, all journalists are "objective" - meaning, their product is a homogeneous promotion of journalism. And since the business of journalism is superficial and negative toward everyone who doesn't go along and get along, that consensus is naturally radical.
