If the terms on the product say your access might be revoked because you asked questions about their parent company, that’s illegal and should be contested.

That said, this is entirely different – citizens have the right to know what is happening within all branches of the government, and not only via official press releases. Some level of transparency is a critical requirement for a functioning democracy (I understand the US might be a little past that point).

Where does it say that "your access might be revoked because you asked questions"? They're journalists, that's what they do.

There's nowhere that says that a government has to give access to the grounds of a building. Did you feel as strongly when Biden gave no press conferences between November 2023 to July 2024? It's just silly to put your flag into the ground on this particular issue.

I think your argument is exceptionally silly as is the comparison to Biden not holding press conferences.

The press had been access prior and the difference now is that they will lose access unless they agree to report what they’re told.
