A veteran AP photographer spent more than an hour on Thursday explaining to a federal judge in Washington, DC, how the news organization’s ability to compete in its coverage of the Trump presidency has been “destroyed” by the White House’s decision to limit its access to presidential events, the Oval Office and Air Force One.

    I don’t know why not being lied to in the room at the WH would be a big loss for their reporting. Maybe just investigate and cover what they’re doing and tell folks that?

      Also they are usually the source of a lot of downstream sites, since they’re doing actual journalism.

      They cannot do that If they are not there.

    Perhaps instead of finding and breaking fresh news they can add fresh perspectives to existing news stories? God knows folks need more than just the info blasted at them - they need to be reminded that there are other ways of interpreting events than what they are given.
