Great.
the framing of "nobody is guaranteed a seat in the press corps" is wrong
the framing is: "the president kicking any org out of the press corps because of what they name the gulf is unconstitutional censorship, and will not stand up in court"

Deferred responsibility ain't responsible.
Of course, the lies go in the headline without ANY context, sooo...
What he really means:
"Government efforts to punish disfavored organizations will not stop us from acquiescing to the administration."
Treat it like it's the city hall meeting of a 35,000 population mountain town.
And how many times did they tell us that Biden was old?
Hold on a minute...
Cool argument.
