There should be a new version of the question mark for rhetorical questions.
I guess the payout for this would be, "at what point does a Democratic President freeze out Fox News from the press corps?"
I know Obama kicked Fox News out from the press corps, and other news organizations fought to keep them in, rightly I suppose.
But the news organizations opposed rags like Gateway Pundit, InfoWars, etc from the corps because they don't have any journalistic ethics at all.
But if you have an organization who's crushing actual blockbuster news stories towards a political actor and feeding him answers for supposed objective debates, then at what point do they cross the the divide between news org and rag in the press corp's mind to boot them out?
I guess you could say the WSJ is an example of a conservative news organization that still has strong journalistic integrity, but if I remember correctly, since they got bought out by Murdoc, they've been leaning on their news rooms to slant their stories as well
