Oh, I'm in complete agreement.

One could turn the libs anti-gun argument against them (that the founding fathers couldn't foresee spray fire assault weapons and machine guns) into something like this:

The First Amendment "Press" does not mean broadcast or electronic media. When they wrote the First Amendment, the founders couldn't foresee things like socialist media monopolies, a 24-hour news cycle, spin, mass brainwashing, disinformation, psyops, and Soviet propaganda disseminated at the speed of light. In the founding era, "press" meant ink pressed onto paper, as with newspapers, pamphlets, and handbills.

Ah, if it resulted in the extinction of leftist media only, but it would be a double-edged sword.
