The news of Texas covered today includes:
Our Lone Star story of the day: From a recent Podcast Extra: Roy Maynard joins us for a Pratt on Texas Podcast Extra to discuss his great column: AP’s Argument Against Being Booted From WH Event Is Laughable Given Its History.
More background:
- White House bans AP reporter from press event over style guide’s objection to ‘Gulf of America’
- AP sues Trump to force White House access following ‘Gulf of America’ row
- Associated Press sues three White House officials over ‘Gulf of America’ feud
- Federal judge rejects AP’s bid to overturn White House ban on outlet’s access to key areas
The fact is that previous administrations have let the press insiders, the correspondents association, decide who does and does not have White House credentials and access to the press room, etc. This insider dealing has ensured that conservative leaning press outlets, including some with very large audiences, have not been given access. The administration taking over access granting is how it should be irrespective of the AP’s situation.
Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.
The Texas Senate passed a ban on THC, including synthetic THC, and Senator Charles Perry was having none of the press misinformation about polling, etc.
