No, The First Amendment Is Not Under Attack!

The 1st amendment is not under attack. Since when is it an attack for someone else to use their 1st amendment rights (freedom of speech) to voice their opinion about a journalist's 1st amendment rights (freedom of the press)? 

It seems to me that the 1st is just being more widely used than ever--including this comment.

This behavior cannot and will not be tolerated. Not by SPJ. Not by journalists. Not by the American people who know a free and unfettered press has been a cornerstone of democracy for the past 240 years..."
