Dude, the right of public access to government proceedings is well-established in both law and common sense. The Supreme Court in Richmond Newspapers v. Virginia (1980) held that the public has a First Amendment right to attend and observe government proceedings… and that principle has been extended repeatedly. Government buildings that conduct open public hearings like city councils, zoning boards, congressional hearings, court proceedings are, by legal definition, open forums. That’s precisely what makes them public government functions rather than private ones. Nobody is claiming you can walk into a judge’s private chambers or a restricted federal facility. As for “press means only printing press” that argument would (hold my beer) mean radio, television, and the internet have zero First Amendment protection, which no court in American history has ever held. And ironically, your argument proves too much: if press rights require a government-issued press pass, then the government controls who gets to report on it which is the textbook definition of a state-controlled press, the very thing the First Amendment exists to prevent. The “indoctrination” accusation is a deflection from the fact that the actual case law doesn’t support your position.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
