What would happen if a large number of the WH Press Corps

[mandyky]

decided to just send a few token reporters in, for say the rest of the week? Do they have to show up, or they lose their place ? Does anyone know how that works?

Send in Helen and a few other who will ask tough questions, and everyone else sort of stay away in protest.. would this misadministration cave in?

1. the Admin would respond thusly:

discontinue the press conferences entirely

2. by the by......

heard one of the anchors or talking heads today say that the WH is running scared and concerned about all the troubles mounting in that reporters for the FIRST time are actually getting phone calls returned. The arrogant bastards never bothered before. In fact, seeing the reporter yell after him today very rudly as he was leaving after signing the tellmarket bill, I started to wonder if these people having been treated like shit by the administration aren't now becoming the revening nightmare. Remember, they would try to ruin the careers of guys before, or not let them in on info given to others, or not called upon, etc. They moved some veterans back several rows, etc. They had contempt for the media and loved to bash them. Rove had a snowball fight one time with a group of them and lost it and began hurling snowballs to do real damage while screaming "losers". This could be the start of payback.

3. those news services pay these people to be there and participate

I don't think that they would go along with this plan.

4. So are folks finally getting tired

of the schoolyard bullies? I can't imagine what it must be like to have a job that requires being humiliated on a daily basis by these arrogant neanderthals.

Pay back's gonna be a mother.
