I do not think that the First Amendment should protect news organizations who just lie to the public. It’s not right.

I have long believed that as well. I can't believe that the Founding Fathers intended for First Amendment protections to be extended to media outlets who are, in actuality, house organs for a particular political party.

Political parties didn’t really exist then. Many of the founders were quite fearful of them, I believe.
