or a right to have their reporters called on or their questions answered.

Period.

This whole dustup about the pool is manufactured horseshite. However, even if the WH decided to freeze out any news organization, it has the absolute right to do so.

Exactly, the relationship between the WH and the press was based on the press being powerful and responsible. The press is neither now and the WH is responding accordingly.

So the next D president comes along and bars the news agencies you like unless they provide the positive coverage he wants I'm sure it will be fine with you right? That D president will of course get to decide what is fake or not

This is true.

And these days anyone with a blog can be in the press so there is nothing special about it except the scale of their various operations.

It's just as much about transparency as it is about anything.

By bringing in favorable media from the pool it looks bad.

I don't like the thought when the Obama admin did it and Trump is no different.

If you thought it is ok that Obama did it you probably agree it's ok for Trump to do.

Obama and his press people took hundreds of questions from Fox News reports during the past 8 years. Quit trying to find an equivalency where one doesn't exist.

First step control the message. Next start stripping away rights and the sheep will never notice.

Why don't you just move to North Korea? Sounds like your kind of place

Whether I like it, or not, is irrelevant.

The point of my post was that the media has no right to access. None. The access exists because it is granted.
