#2 Hmmm...Freedom of the Press, aka 1st Amendment, was about the technology of the flow of information which in 1790 was the printing press. It was not about an institution divorced from the consequences of supply and demand. The internet closely aligns with the concept and intent of the 1st Amendment not what a self serving institution that refers to itself as the 'press' and thus proclaiming protection from consequences that any other business is subject to for deception, libel, reckless disregard, et al.

#3 #1 They bring up the more pertinent question: Should MSNBC have the right to broadcast?

Daniel: Unfortunately, yes. Perhaps, their broadcasts should be required to come with a disclaimer or or warning such as: "Warning, This is Pure Bullshit. Believe It at Your Own Peril."
