@MSNOWNews Freedom of the Press shields against government censorship of publication, but does not require any president to grant access to himself, the White House, or restricted events to any or all news outlets.
@RepYvetteClarke Freedom of the Press shields against government censorship of publication, but does not require any president to grant access to himself, the White House, or restricted events to any or all news outlets. SCOTUS has held they have no special constitutional right to special access.
No. Freedom of the Press shields against government censorship of publication, but does not require any president to grant access to himself, the White House, or restricted events to any or all news outlets. The Supreme Court has held the press has no special constitutional right of access beyond the general public. Administrations have long exercised discretion over such access.
