Palin calls freedom of press a "privilege"

All right, I am assuming far more coherence and meaning in Sarah Palin's ramblingly incoherent interview with Fox's Carl Cameron than is warranted. But I do want to call your attention to this amazing passage, flagged by Jake Tapper of ABC News:

As we send our young men and women overseas in a war zone to fight for democracy and freedoms, including freedom of the press, we've really got to have a mutually beneficial relationship here with those fighting the freedom of the press, and then the press, though not taking advantage and exploiting a situation, perhaps they would want to capture and abuse the privilege. We just want truth, we want fairness, we want balance.

To which I say: "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press."
