What is to stop him, legally speaking? Press rights are a very complicated and often-vague arena of law. Obviously, merely claiming you're a journalist doesn't give you unrestricted access to literally anywhere you wish to go, after all, so there's all sorts of limits and standards that often aren't laid down all that cleanly.

Eh, you can make an argument that the existing reg applies only to denials for security reasons, not to arbitrary and capricious denials because the President personally dislikes the reporter, but . .. that's not a good argument to be making

Pelosi recently told The New York Times in an interview that she plans to ask House Democrats to set up a select committee that would be similar to the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming, which operated from 2007 up until 2011 when Republicans took back control of the House from Democrats.

Nah, this was well managed by all parties to get an outcome where everyone looks good. AOC looks like she gets results, Pelosi looks like she's actually listening to the people, there's not video of screaming protestors being pepper sprayed or forcefully dragged out of Pelosi's office.

It's a win win.

But that's how it is now. You can't let 300 million Americans into the briefing room. They wouldn't even fit, so of course there has to be some process to accredit news organizations

CNN's argument is that Acosta isn't being excluded because he violated the existing processes but that he is being excluded to punish CNN for reporting facts Trump doesn't like.

Sure, but that's CNN's argument - that they previously had the access but that it was arbitrarily revoked without good reason. That's a common principle governing many executive branch actions: outside of clearly political stuff, executive decisionmaking is supposed to be governed by the facts and the law, so an executive agency shouldn't change a decision it's already made unless either the facts or the law change.

That's quite a bit different from the sweeping statements about all journalism that many posters are making here, though.

Didn't Pelosi already state that she was going to have a select committee on climate change?

I wonder if AOC and Pelosi coordinated this. AOC and the DSA get a big policy win early on and make it look like Pelosi's doing what they want, and Pelosi gains an ally on the Left for the price of being humiliated a little and doing exactly what she already wanted to do.

edit: to be clear, Pelosi taking AOC under her wing is an objectively good thing as it means she's being groomed for leadership despite not even being in office yet.

Obama gave multiple interviews with Chris Wallace and Bill O'Reilly as well as going on Fox News Sunday, and that's just the stuff I personally remember.

Not only did Obama "go on Fox News", he has no obligation to do so and equating that to "banning" Fox News is a lie.

The quote I posted shows that the White House did try to exclude Fox from press pools, but immediately did a 180 after they saw how the rest of the WH press corps reacted to that trial balloon.

They are objectively and demonstrably incorrect.

They really aren't. There is no fundamental difference between FOX and CNN; both act as propaganda vehicles with a heavy ideological bias that they falsely claim doesn't exist. There's only a difference in degree.

edit: One can obviously argue that they think the ideological slant of FOX is worse than that of CNN (or MSNBC or whatever), but that's a different argument than claiming they're fundamentally different in nature and that FOX is somehow propaganda in a way those other stations aren't*. So this isn't some "both sides" thing, since you can simultaneously think that FOX is, on the whole, worse than (for example) CNN, while also realizing that the latter isn't somehow a "real" news organizations in a way that former isn't.

edit2: A good example might be coverage of Yemen. Someone mentioned earlier how FOX isn't "real news" because it doesn't cover things inconvenient to Trump/Republicans. But the same is basically true for other US news with other topics (like Yemen which went almost entirely uncovered). All these organizations are selectively choosing what to report and how to report it in ways that serve their particular ideological bias. Another example is a paper like the NYTimes dishonestly referring to Palestinians being murdered by the IDF as "clashes." The only real difference is with regard to the specific topics the organization chooses to emphasize or ignore, and subtle propaganda that people perceive as not being such is in many ways more worrying than something as blatant as FOX News.

* If anything, I'd argue that other news organizations are in some ways more concerning, because they manage to be perceived by most US Democrats are not being propaganda (which actually makes them more useful towards serving that goal)
