Pentagon has press rules NYT won’t sign and follow. So this twerp is not allowed in. NYT does not support USA. So no access.
Bad argument.
Press briefings conducted by a private or public entity should be able to be conducted by the hosting entity as the entity chooses.
The press is free in the sense that they can publish whatever opinion they have about being excluded - suppressing THAT would be a First Amendment violation. But a "right to attend" a briefing that would impose space, time, and content burdens on the briefer?
That's going too far.
