Woodward's Best Scoop Yet !

Woodrow Wilson decided to have the first presidential press conference about 100 years ago.

Since then there have been  a lot of comfortable changes and many uncomfortable exchanges in various rooms in the White House and the Rose Garden and on the South Lawn and even under the downdraft of  helicopters.

But so far as I have been able to ascertain, there are no laws and no constitutional provisions or amendments covering  White House (read presidential) control over who participates in the daily press briefing or the formal presidential "preser".

As my admired accomplice in this status, I'll point to Bob Woodward of WaPo Watergate fame who said Wednesday that reporter Jim Acosta and CNN are childish and that the entire brouhaha over his
exclusion from the White House is an example of petty people becoming emotionally unhinged by their mindless hatred of President Donald J. Trump.

Despite the wussified and sycophantic pandering by former New Jersey lower court judge A. Napolitano and the threatened."Amicus Curae"  brief by Fox news, let me go out on the sturdy limb-- as rigid as the trunk from which it sprouts--and say:

"This dog won't hunt !"

The president and all of the habitués of the White House have as much right to decide who comes through its portals as we would assume journalist Tucker Carlson has to decide who may and may not crash down his door and ravage  his home and threatened his wife in his absence.

If there are any constitutional questions here to be bruited about, the primary one would the the safety of the nation's first magistrate and commander-in-chief, especially  so far as his right to identify and eject interlopers by their behavior and demeanor.

Common sense, as Bob Woodward indicated, will--- along with a legal opinion--- sternly embarrass  this coterie of crybabies which lamentably includes what used to be the sine qua non of journalism now known as the ass press....

Meanwhile,three`quarters of  8,500 respondents to a Yahoo / Zogby poll opined that the mainstream media, identifiale ow as all those outlets who believe Trum had no right tio ban Jim Acosta, are mainy guilty

and resposible of dividing America with false reporting, racist and hate propaganda and bad faith.

Thank you, Sir Robert--Knight Errant Woodward---for your most Gallant scoop of ALL !
