Their position is the White House should dig into their pasts, their personal lives, before allowing them to participate in the press corps?

That's what the press wants. We'll give it to 'em.

But, of course, that isn't at all what they want to do....instead, they want that "rule" applied only to those who are or claim to be conservatives; anything to silence their enemies (those are aren't anti-American).

OTOH, those who are in the limelight championing the conservative cause must know, by now, that their lives, personal and otherwise, will be scrutinized extraordinarily. They best not have questionable skeletons in their closet. Surely any conservative must be ignorant not to know that.

Of course, that goes without saying. My point was, imagine the outrage if the White House actually followed through with what these hypocrites seem to be calling for by starting an official program of investigating and approving of any reporter's private life as a condition of access.
