From the interwebs
Freedom of the Press does not mean the government can't, through executive order, require all members of the Press be licensed and have all their stories monitored, categorized and tracked after publication, either.
All requirements for gun ownership, and restrictions thereon, should be applied to the press.
Mass printing and distribution: out.
Two week waiting period before publishing.
Not more than three stories per reporter per month.
Et cetera.
Because these are such reasonable restrictions on the rights recognized by the second amendment, they should be equally reasonable when applied to the first.

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.
Belief gets in the way of learning--Robert A. Heinlein
It's not what we don't know that hurts, it's what we know that ain't so--Will Rogers
