A couple of the ways to go after the MSM sidestepping the courts is:
Use the FEC to go after them as unregistered PACs, etc MSNBC is low hanging Fruit for this for example. So would be the 24/7 NeverTrump media.
Use the SEC to break up the MSM conglomerates into smaller less central controlled entities.
Neither strategy violates the First...
Good points.
They’d go running to the courts faster than you can say “freedom of the press.”
