Do "credentials" matter?

Do you remember the big credentials fight that WorldNetDaily had with the Capitol a few years ago? They were being denied press credentials by a "committee" that credentials news outlets. The "committee" argued that WND didn't originate news, only repeated other outlets' stories, even though WND was responsible for Algore losing Tennessee in 2000. It turned out that this "committee" was made up of representatives of the press (not journalists), and they were denying WND credentials out of spite.

You can probably read about it in WND's archives.

Yes, I remember this very well. Les Kinsolving got in. Perhaps I'm wrong in timeline, but I think Jeff Gannon got in afterwards. But I remember the WND battle well.
