        They don't put themselves forward as a news organization and have no problem with them being excluded even from press briefings. -- nm - TWuG Nov 3, 15:51

        Generic opinion. If the WH wants to discuss policy with news outlets, they are well within their rights to pick and choose who they include. - TWuG Nov 3, 15:50
      - [deleted] 5
        
        but again, neither is the press *industry*. The first amendment right is a personal protection. -- nm - Max Nov 3, 15:41 4

        precision is required because in college he had exactly 5.3 friends -- nm - crash davis Nov 3, 15:01
  - I've heard that this is a program-killer for some people. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 14:55 1
    - It was a famously tough lower division course for budding pre-meds. I'm sure it was tough on purpose. -- nm - con_carne Nov 3, 15:02
