I heard you saying that the "law" allows the media to be present -- but not the general public? Why are the meeting not open to the general public? What is the REASON? Why can't an individual agree not to share something if there is a valid reason for it, and if they break this agreement, then they will not be allowed in again?

Is there some sort of "Hypocratic oath" that journalists sign when they graduate from journalism school that means they agree to certain conditions, etc? I think not - otherwise, would the "Star" and other tabloids be "legal?" Do these "journalists" "share some sort of obligation" as you guest states?
