New York Times, CNN, others barred from press briefing

You know who gets to decide who attends a press conference?

Hint: It's not the government. Because the next step is the government deciding what the news is.

I mean, unless you are a-ok with government sponsored news, you know, like Russian and North Korea have.  Are you OK with that, Neo?  So far, it seems like you are, as long as "your side" gets to be the ones deciding what the news is.
