Part of me wonders if AP coverage of the administration might actually IMPROVE if access to such spaces is removed. Forces the world's largest news outlet away from access journalism and into more critical coverage.

i first read your post as "more important" but re-read, and i hope you're right

i guess i'm frustrated because, if you're the administration of a government that pushes such a dramatic action, that you can't provide any basis for it. i know, i shouldn't expect these basic things from THIS administration. hence, frustration

you're right. very good point. i'm glad people spoke up. i'm just... frustrated

no, certainly not. just frustrated that a whole news cycle got burned through with so few facts. and realizing that news cycle are probably going back to lasting like 5 minutes again
