Whenever holding press conferences in the Oval Office, the government creates a nonpublic forum [1] and invokes freedom of the press (because a news organization who is allowed to attend should be able to share what happened). The government can deny a news organization entry based on the subject of the speech (e.g. no reporting about the Gulf of Mexico/America, regardless of the name used) but cannot deny entry based on the news organization's viewpoint (e.g. thinking that Gulf of Mexico is the more appropriate name allowed, thinking that Gulf of America is the more appropriate name not allowed).
