I am fine with the opinion it is a first amendment issue, even though the government hasn't prevented them from publishing their opinions. The only question is then why is there a line drawn at all with regards to access? Why is in not ok in this situation, but kosher in this? Regardless, we are here because both side of this were childish, AP wanting to stick it to the President and the President wanting to stick it to the AP.Quote:
This is such an easy 1st Amendment issue. I really don't understand why everyone is having trouble understanding it.
Congrats to the AP, they won. What did they win? 4 years of sitting in a room and being ignored. Reality is nobody really wins in this and hopefully other adversarial media will instead find ways to more effectively challenge the administration.
