We already have limits on the 1st Amendment. I can't print lies. I can't call for an open rebellion. I have to get a permit if I want to hold a large protest. If he believes the press is printing lies about him, he can challenge it in civil court.

Exactly what I was going to say. A journalist or publication that publishes something that is a lie, that could be considered malicious, they are held responsible for that. Just look at Rolling Stone right now in their battle with UVA. There are limits to the First Amendment already.
