Guess this is what happens when you ask too many pointed questions. And I wonder how long WND will be "welcome" at the White House?

I believe they did the same thing when Clinton was in the WH. Same old, same old.

[glorygirl]

Nevertheless, it is wrong. I would urge anyone who believes in freedom of the press to visit the source page and email everyone linked. Most Freepers b**ch and moan about the media, WND is one of the few media organizations DOES ask questions and probe where no one else is willing to go.

people...i don't have to list all of the things being done by our government(no, not our government...it is no longer ours...it is simply the government) to take OUR country away from you and me...certain segments of our society...and correspondents with similar leanings to WND...HAVEN'T WE HAD ENOUGH...HOW MUCH FURTHER IS THIS GOING TO GO BEFORE WE THE PEOPLE STAND UP...MR. ROBINSON...I implore you to help us utilize the POWER OF THIS SITE to start a massave letter, fax, phone campaign along with street demonstrations for those who are able NOW...we just can't sit back and see this go further...if i am being an alarmist...please forgive me...but just look around at just the lies alone being fed to us by the govt....which are enuf for heads to roll...most of us read yesterday's article on the OKC bombing...if only half of that article is accurate we are headed for totalitarianism...i am in a position to devote full time to this and i pledge that if you will guide me and hopefully us, i will do exactly that

The solution is simple: sue. Sue the Standing Committee, sue the individuals that compose it. Sue Tom Daschle and Dennis Hastert in their capacities as the current leaders of Congress. Go Scientologist on their asses. He'll get his pass, just so they can make it all go away.

Bump for a later read

Yes, I am aware that these slugs are supposed to be an independent committee but I would never be convinced that this could have happened without the backing from a group of very powerful politicians!

[gPal]

Yes, you are right. Sounds like a job for Judicial Watch. I am probably naive about these things but can we get behind them?

NOOOO, every time Judical Watch starts a new project, I get 10 new direct mailings asking for money.

[Lion Den Dan]

And now Clinton is out of office and I am still up at goofy hours. What is your excuse, Fred?

Here are some relevant documents on rules and accreditation -

Google search - Standing Committee of Correspondents'

[glorygirl]

from one of those "rules" links....

3. The Standing Committee of Correspondents shall limit membership in the press galleries to bone fide correspondents of repute in their profession, under such rules as the Standing Committee of Correspondents shall prescribe.

4. Provided, however, that the Standing Committee of Correspondents shall admit to the galleries no person who does not establish to the satisfaction of the Standing Committee all of the following:

(a) That his or her principal income is obtained from news correspondence intended for publication in newspapers entitled to second-class mailing privileges.

(b) That he or she is not engaged in paid publicity or promotion work or in prosecuting any claim before Congress or before any department of the government, and will not become so engaged while a member of the galleries.

(c) That he or she is not engaged in any lobbying activity and will not become so engaged while a member of the galleries.
