"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

The implied distinction between freedom "of" the press and freedom "for" the press is sophistry. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_the_press_in_the_Uni... for several important examples demonstrating this.
