Any device which enables one to state and publicize one’s views is a “press,” whether it be moveable type, offset, TV, radio, or the Internet. We all have free access to “the press,” meaning we have the right to pay any provider who wishes to sell us access to publicize our ideas.

Right. The First Amendment has "or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press". Would one argue that speaking freely is only for members of a "speech" organization?

Excellent observation.

This kind of thinking falls in line with those who claim the 2nd amendment applies only to an "organized" group (militia).
