Actually, it would be better to put them right up front, in a place of honor. Helen Thomas’s old seat perhaps, then completely ignore them but still be able to see them stick out their lower lips and pout.

Wouldn’t it be great to hold daily briefings and never call on mainstream media.

Being a reporter is like being a salesman. If you don't have leads or you're not bringing in exclusives, then you're dead weight.

Allowing proven frauds to continue sitting in on press conferences would be similar to a salesman still going to business lunches with prospects. That is, you could still point to potential upside.

Revoking certain credentials and passes would be similar to a salesman being banned by certain customers. He would be let go the next day.
