White House Refuses to Reveal How They Pick Journalists to Enter Biden Pressers
The White House refused to reveal what process they use to credential journalists into presidential events, dodging the Daily Caller’s question repeatedly on Tuesday.
The White House team usually restricts who gets access to President Joe Biden’s public events by requiring reporters — who usually get access to White House press grounds — to fill out a credential form. Reporters have pressed the administration for answers on how they pick the journalists that get close to the president, but the White House has never publicly addressed their credentialing system.
The South Court Auditorium, one of the smaller venues where Biden gives remarks, has partially been a cause of headaches for reporters from right-leaning outlets who have been denied access. The Daily Caller and other conservative outlets in the White House briefing room have repeatedly been banned without explanation, despite there being dozens of seats available.
The Daily Caller pressed the White House to be transparent on whether they have a process on who gets inside.
A White House official refused to answer the question but told the Caller that reporters are denied access due to space restrictions. (Read more from “White House Refuses to Reveal How They Pick Journalists to Enter Biden Pressers” HERE)
