If corporations have no rights (and you have a fairly good if predicatable
leftist rant below, don't get me wrong), let's censor the New York Times
Co.!

After all, the First Amendment should only apply to one individual with his
own printing press. Internet service providers should be subject to
government regulation and confiscation of contraband hard drives and
crypto-apps, and bookstores should be able to be raided by armed FBI agents
without search warrants hunting for subversive literature -- since
corporations don't have rights!

Yes, I like this line of thinking. Not only does it show a deep respect for
history, but a sincere appreciation for freedom and liberty. The best of
both worlds!
