"Infringing on the freedom of the press"

To me this picture means that if the press was able to give out the real truth, the viewers wouldn't be able to handle the truth. The press talk about yea the major concerns that are going on in the world but sometimes they don't give you the back up information that goes with it. They give you a brief summary about what it is so you can be aware. All of the words that are coming out of the t.v are most daily things that you would hear on the news. Like the man that is hanging himself. The constitution is give the press the freedom but the press wouldn't actually have the freedom to write/ talk about. This is because things are censored and people don't want to actually see what is going on.
Interesting--I got a different interpretation of the cartoon. It seemed to me that the press was using its 1st amendment right to scare people into thinking there is only bad news...which probably isn't the case. Maybe fear sells?
