That is among the controversial restrictions placed on journalists as a condition of receiving a press pass to cover Friday’s event, which is being organized by an arm of the pro-Trump youth group Turning Point USA.

It seems like these fascist gentlemen don’t believe in the freedom of the press. |
They believe in freedom of the press. They also believe in protecting kids, and there will be plenty of kids in attendance. They also likely believe that the press is more interested in advancing narratives rather than simply reporting the news, and they'd probably be right.
The event is not open to the public - tickets must be purchased to attend - so its not required that that the press be given unfettered access.
