The Founders had more foresight than you think. These were enlightenment thinkers who were well versed in the history of governments and technological progress. The Bill of Rights is a document of principles: principles exist to ensure stability regardless of culture or time period or technology. The spirit of the amendment is to allow the people to spread their own information, it doesn’t matter how they do it.

The first amendment says nothing about “fake” or “real” news even though there was plenty of fake news in those days. I could argue fake news started the French Revolution.

Wasn’t sure which direction he was going in but now I see. That’s incredible satire. Thumbs up.
