WTF is "access"?

The "privilege" of being in the room when they are lying?
The "right" to occasionally get to ask questions they won't answer?

Maybe these things are good for the wegos of the people who want to call themselves "professional journalists" But it isn't journalism. It is the OPPOSITE of journalism. It is allowing yourself to be used as props.

If something requires "access", then it is not news. It is propaganda.

Get out of Trump's goat rodeo and go out and report on some real news for a change.
