Why? For suggesting that the press doesn't have a right to unfettered access to a private event?
Does that mean that the Biden crowd has gone full fascist as well for barring journalists access?

There's lots more, but I'll save the bandwidth for someone else.
The point is, that the current administration - and prior administrations - in many circumstances and situations pick and choose where they allow the press access. And here were talking about the press having access to government officials or the military working in their professional capacities at places or events that are under the control of those government officials. Nothing new about any of this.
Compare that to an organization of students who happen to be conservative - a population that the MSM generally hates anyway - having a private event, and the presumption in this thread is that the media MUST be granted access. Or, if they are granted access, and such access is restricted, that's just so outside the norm as to be considered an affront to freedom of the press? And the government officials attending are there on their personal time and not strictly acting in their professional capacities.
And if the articles linked above signify anything, it's that controlling press access by government officials is not "highly unusual" as the idiot WaPo journalist suggests in his slanted article.
Do you guys actually think things through before you post?
Oh, and about the kids. Yes, if I'm a parent, I don't want the press to have unfettered access to my kids if I'm not present. That goes double for the press like the MSM when they're attending an event full of folks that they hate, like a gathering of conservatives.
