What does "freedom of the press" mean here in
? Is it a freedom enjoyed by you or I or any other common person, has it ever been?
The answer to these questions is no, the freedom of the press is freedom only for those who own the printing presses and that freedom is the freedom to use the press as a megaphone for views and ideas that help them and those in the same class
It always goes back to the material conditions and who owns the means of production
