Surely an Oversight, But Still...

In light of the recent ABC News story about the government poring over the media's phone records to find whistleblowers comes the following little blurb (via BoingBoing): the Government Printing Office created flash cards to help immigrants pass their citizenship tests, and they enumerated the freedoms listed in the First Amendment as: freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, and the freedom to petition the government. What's missing? Freedom of the press, which is explicitly enumerated in the First Amendment.

Surely this is merely an oversight, but the Bush Administration does seem to hate the press, so who knows?
