Didn't Biden ban certain media outlets? Didn't an appeals court already rule on this in the case involving the African reporter (Karem)? While he won that case, the court did say the White House could restrict passes if it gave notice it would suspend for misbehavior. Isn't failing to call a body of water by its legal name inappropriate, particularly if the AP is insisting on doing so to tweak/irritate the President? The First Amendment doesn't mean you get to break the White House rules on media behavior.
Ahem.
Does the judge provide any practical solutions to the issue of space? They can't allow *every* journalist access to those areas. Further, the role of journalist isn't well defined. Everyone with a cellphone is a journalist.

Jokes on them. The Associated Press (AP) can and does use transcripts from other press outlets and vice versa. AP is often cited by other press outlets. I bet they slipped a few questions to their trusted reporter friends from other press in attendance.
