Does freedom of the press allow the media to write of air whatever they want? Explain, WILL MARK BRAINLIEST

Illegal things such as child por, illegal conduct, fraud, and lawless actions Including defamation of the law are not protected by the First Amendment and therefore are not to be published or written about in the media.

Unless restricted by a valid prior restraint (which is rare), the news media are free to publish any information or opinion they desire. This freedom, however, does not immunize them from liability for what they publish. A newspaper that publishes false information about a person, for example, can be sued for libel. A television station similarly can be sued if it broadcasts a story that unlawfully invades a person’s privacy. Because such liability can be staggering, most journalists strive to exercise their freedom to publish in a responsible and ethical manner.
