How about lets see what happens, nah why wait, he might not actually do it, then you would miss the chance to attack him for something, maybe some one will kill him an make you happy. I am sure you think he is worse than Reagan.
it would not be a violation of the constitution if he only allowed alternative news any exclusives since they are after all news media.
Wouldn't it be an interesting test of "infringing" in "infringing on the freedom of the press," ? Wonder what the current rules are for WH press credentials.
This is informative . . .
Today, after 50 years of covering the White House, Hearst newspapers columnist Helen Thomas announced her retirement after the widespread outrage that followed the release of a video in which she says that Jews in Israel should "go back to Germany and Poland." White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs called Thomas’s remarks "offensive and reprehensible." But if the 89-year-old Thomas had insisted on remaining, could the White House have forced her out of the press corps?
Probably not. To get accredited for the White House, a reporter first needs to be approved for a congressional press pass by the Standing Committee of Correspondents, elected by accredited reporters. (A notable exception to this rule was Jeff Gannon of the conservative website Talon News, who was repeatedly allowed to ask — usually friendly — questions during the George W. Bush administration’s White House press briefings despite never being given a congressional pass. Gannon’s presence in the press room became a minor scandal when liberal bloggers revealed that he had posted X-rated pictures of himself on the Internet and had worked as a gay escort.)
