The main thing the White House Correspondents gain from WH press briefings is the ability to point to themselves on TV inside the White House.

This is a flat-out, clear-cut violation of the First Amendment.
Associated Press: “Today we were informed by the White House that if AP did not align its editorial standards with President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, AP would be barred from accessing an event in the Oval Office.“

Pandemics do not begin with official announcements.
They start with quiet deletions, missing reports, and assurances that there is "no cause for concern."
