Did you read the article. It said 1 pass denied, 400 expired. Perhaps that is why the board was silent, a non event.

Had it been Trump, it would have been a massive thing.
All today's announcement noted was that they're not going to let the WHCA call the shots anymore. The WHCA has been a biased entity for a looong time. Why should they get to control who has access to the White House press pool? Why should they be the sole (and unaccountable only to themselves) arbiter of press coverage?

The answer is "hell no they shouldn't" to both. Let some podcasters in there and alternative media; they probably have more integrity and less bias than most of what passes for "journalism" these days.
