It's not "a right". It's extra rights, that you and I don't have, that the vast majority of normal people are not afforded. Extra rights that are completely 100% unjustified and have only ever been used for harm.
They are literally a privileged class. They shouldn't be.
They're not you fucking dunce. "The press" weren't a class at the time, it was referring to the act of publishing news. That right has been broadly interpreted, and applies to literally everyone here. You do not want to remove that right and make it so all of those people are enshrined as the only people who can publish news, because thats what would happen.
Regardless of if they were a class at the time they're a class now, because your interpretation is not one that is actually used. And they've been screwing with this country since Hearst or even earlier, more than a century.

Except it is the interpretation used you buffoon. SCOTUS constantly interprets "the press" as an act and not a group of people.
Stop thinking that authoritarianism can be solved with more authoritarianism that benefits you in the short term you weirdo.
You must've lived in a cave for the last two decades then.
