I have no problem with openly partisan reporters representing openly partisan broadcasters, newspapers or other media having a WH press pass. At least Airhead America is honest about their views -- unlike the alphabet networks. Plus, giving Airhead America more publicity doesn't exactly help the Left convince sober citizens that they are ready to govern this country and aren't a bunch of kooks.
So when will Free Republic have a WH press pass?

Not sure but I think that WND was repeatedly refused.
According to News.google, FR is NOT a news source despite the regular editorials that are published only here (or here first) by members.
News.google does believe that DU is a news source.

For the record, to be credentialed as a reporter one must demonstrate that he receives ober 50% of his income from the practice of journalism. If this guy is a lawyer, it is doubtful he qualifies in this regard.
Further, for Air America to be credentialed as a news service, it must be a going concern that derives its income from adertising, subscptions, etc. It may not be funded directly by partisan interests or engage in political advocacy. Air America doesn't qualify to be credentialed as a legitimate news source.
Someone needs to contact the Senate Press Gallery since it issues credentials for the Washington press corps. Talk to Joe Keenan, 202-224-0241.

Weren't we gonna submit somebody? After the Gannon thing the idea was bandied about, but I guess nothing happened.

"Excuse me Mr. President, will you be nuking Mecca in the near future or do you plan to keep appeasing the Islamofascists?"
"Mr. President, how do you feel about lining the Southern U.S. border with landmines and poison gas?"
Be careful what you ask for sometimes...
