To most civil libertarians, the obvious answer is: of course. The 1st amendment protects the press. Quite explicitly.
What I see quite a bit here, especially with regard to the Citizens United, is that the 1st amendment shouldn't cover corporations. It should cover only natural persons.
Which means, the NYT would not have 1st amendment freedoms. No Hollywood or Broadway production would have 1st amendment freedoms. (They're all organized as corporations.) Harper Collins would not have 1st amendment freedoms. And the ACLU would not have 1st amendment freedoms.
Discuss.
