Freedom of press is protected by the Constitution for good reason. Freedom of press was a freedom protected and used by our founding fathers, including Benjamin Franklin and Samuel Adams, to champion the movement for independence. It is the job of the media to deliver the facts, even if those facts anger members of the public or the government; therefore, it is critical that the media's right to print the facts be protected. As Thomas Payne's Common Sense proved, media has the ability to change thousands (or even millions) of opinions and change society as a result.
Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution empowers Congress to “lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States.” Article I, Section 9, further states that “No Capitation, or other direct, Tax shall be laid, unless in Proportion to the Census or Enumeration herein before directed to be taken.”
