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.
What Supreme Court precedent treated "the press" as a class? Name the case. Not how the current administration treats them, or how social media companies treat them, actual precedent that says I'm wrong.
Here's a hint, you can't. In fact, the Trump administration kicked certain pressies out of the conferences. No special treatment there right?

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.
