OAN (one American News) Asks White House to Intervene in Dispute With Correspondents' Association (another example of MSM tworking to stop conservative news) From Epoch Times: A conservative television network is asking the White House to intervene in its feud with the White House Correspondent Association (WHCA), a private organization that controls access to the White House press briefing room. In a letter to White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, lawyers for One America News (OAN) network argue that the White House briefing room is federal property which can not be controlled by a private entity like the WHCA. As an example, the lawyers point to the Supreme Court, where press access is determined by the federal government. The WHCA recently voted to ban OAN from briefings because one of the network’s reporters allegedly violated social distancing guidelines when she appeared at a press briefing as a guest of the White House press secretary. Despite the ban, Pellegrino and Rion continue to attend the briefings as guests of the White House press secretary but have been forced to stand in a roped-off corner area of the briefing room. The attorneys argue that the WHCA actions against OAN are motivated by political bias. In contrast, the Public Information Office at the Supreme Court is expressly prohibited from determining press access based on the viewpoints of the media outlets. “These acts against OAN are motivated by political and journalistic bias against OAN’s conservative viewpoint,” the letter states, arguing that OAN’s exclusion amounts to a violation of the network’s First Amendment rights. “The constitutional case for the White House Press Office to take control over the Press Briefing Room seating arrangements and auxiliary space for White House journalists and to end the WHCA private monopoly over government property and otherwise in these matters is overwhelming,” the letter (pdf) states. https://www.theepochtimes.com/oan-asks-white-house-to-intervene-in-dispute-with-correspondents-association_3335247.html
