Using this logic...Freedom of the Press would be unconstitutional if it wasn’t in the constitution.

Or ...

The Constitution would be un-Constitutional if it didn't exist.

But just for you and me.

It's really freedom of the [printing] press, meaning freedom to publish.

What we today call "the press" is just a profession based on publishing, but the first amendment was also intended to protect pamphleteering, which is equivalent to Freerepublic, Facebook, and Twitter today.
