Journalism like publishing private sexual encounters that were secretly recorded and called it news?

I forgot that freedom of the press only applies when you personally approve of what they're printing.

Freedom of the press, like freedom of speech, applies specifically to government intervention. As a private citizen, you are free to dislike or disapprove of what is being reported. That’s all your parent comment did, they didn’t call for censorship or infringing on freedom of the press, they simply displayed discontent with one case of tabloid-like news.

Right, I forgot that the press needs to conform to your preferences on what they publish. It also slipped my mind that the court system wasn't government run.

Unless you're asserting that you're the government?
