Who decides who is in the White House press corp?

Ari Fleischer, former press secretary, was just on Hannity.
Hannity asked him if CNN or others should be banned from the press corp.
He said he "didn't feel comfortable with the government making that decision."
What? They already are. Obviously every media outlet in the country can't be in the White House Press Corp. There isn't enough room.
So, media outlets are currently being excluded for various reasons. What makes CNN or any other outlet DESERVE a spot over anyone else.
Excluding specific outlets over others has nothing to do with a free press. It is strictly a necessity.
I would ban CNN and replace them with another cable outlet that may not have current access.

After watching CNN for the past 10 minutes I would ban them too. These guys are insufferable. They are liars and represent everything wrong with the media.

Yeah, the Baton Rouge guy is the worst.

What's worse than watching others dig a ditch and then watching them being given their rations afterward? Being forced to dig it with them but not receiving any rations for having done so. Just put them in the back of the room and relegate them to begging for questions but not getting addressed... ever.

CNN deserves to be marginalized, bigly.

Why did Acosta think he, of the 250 reporters in the room, deserved to ask a question?
