You’ve gotten some downvotes so figure I’d paste the actual text of the first amendment here so people know exactly what you’re referring to:

> Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

huh? it's an inalienable right of us all. It either applies to all of us or it is meaningless.

You might want to actually read the first amendment:

Congress shall make no law [emphasis added] respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

(In various ways that aren't very relevant to the current discussion, this generally applies to states as well.)

So if the intercept refuses to publish my story, they are infringing upon my first amendment rights?
