Subject: Re: Free Speech!
I worked in the Bush and Obama WH. Saw zero reporters thrown out, other than the occasional Helen Thomas type dustup. Was not even a matter discussed, at any level, in even the vaguest sense. In fact, many reporters were reasonably friendly with many members of both staffs, if not occasionally testy. Only today do we see an obsession with false information operations narratives, and an upheaval of unfettered press access.

Nineteen Eighty Four wasn't a how-to guide, good people.
