That is a crime of harrassment and other "You're being an ass to someone" crimes. A private person cannot violate the freedom of the press because a private person has almost zero restrictions on their speech. THAT IS FREEDOM OF SPEECH, and any attempt to curtail that response is an attempt to stifle their speech!

A private person can violate the freedom of the press using the crime of harassment! If a private person goes around murdering journalists they don't like, that's an attack on the freedom of the press. How can you possibly be so myopic as to not see this?
