Good question
Jeff Jarvis is rightfully pissed off at the continuing erosion of the 1st Amendment and media freedom.
What I’d like to know though, is when the American media has been front and center in the plot to disarm America and sell the 2nd Amendment down the river through lies, distortions, and manipulated reporting where do they (as in Jeff Jarvis and the Journalism generally as an industry) come off complaining that the 1st Amendment is now going down that same path.
I don’t know about front and center as I’m more inclined to believe that the explanation isn’t some sort of conspiracy but rather ignorance and stupidity. Gun groups do usually rally around the first amendment in addition to the second. The press, however, is loathe to give a squirt of piss about the second (and ninth and tenth for that matter). What gives?

I think the NY Times has been front and center.

Iin reading “The Lost Constitution” I learned that the courts loathe the 9th & 10th too.
