It is improbable that the framers of the Constitution anticipated a situation in which the press were entirely given over to seditious, anti-American policies. If they had, it is likely that their modus operandi would be similar to that for any faction found guilty of high crimes. Trials for treason and the requisite sentences would apply, and I would have no qualms about seeing such sentences executed, no matter how severe.
Sounds like the "Alien and Sedition Acts" President John Adams pushed through Congress. They did allow prosecution for criticizing the government. Eventually they were deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.

Adams signed it, arguing he "pushed" it through Congress is a bit misleading.
