piss off their bosses because they were the one who got CNN or ABC banned from the WH press briefings. It is the media outlets themselves who need institutional bravery to green light the reporters to actually do their jobs.

We do not have a healthy press, with some exceptions. The freelance reporters are the ones who will have to step up because the corporate MSM will not!
