Why do journos talk about freedom of speech and freedom of the press as if these are opposite things?
AFAIK they're covered by the same ammendment.
It seems like a malevolent trick to undermine both.

It is. Slogans like, "freedom for us established members of society, but not those heckin' right-wing racists spouting misinformation and hate speech," and "freedom of speech, but not freedom from consequences" are proofs of this.† top dog :pedomustdie: likes this. -

It doesn't help that the average person now has the memory of a goldship, pouring their duty to remember on major sites they presume will be there tomorrow.† top dog :pedomustdie: likes this.
