Reply #10: It might actually mean they'd be forced to get "the story" some other way. Like maybe

[calimary]

by talking to some other people because they can't have the "good 'gets'." The ONE news organization that reported correctly on the war and the run-up to it was the Knight-Ridder news service - that did not have White House credentials, did NOT have that precious fucking ACCESS to all the same big names who were all spewing the same big lies. Knight-Ridder's prople were forced to find other people to interview and other directions to pursue to get the story. And they were the ONLY ONES to get it correctly.

Might be a good thing for these coddled jerks to go out and actually do some WORK for a change, rather than just rewriting the White House-issued press releases.
