White House threatens media crackdown

By Michelle Malkin  •  June 20, 2007 12:06 PM

Wow: “White House threatens to yank credentials from journalists who publish pics of new briefing room.” USA Today publishes the e-mail from a White House press staffer to the White House Correspondents Association:

Here’s the e-mail that Josh Deckard of the press office sent to the White House Correspondents Association:

> —–Original Message—–
> From: Deckard, Josh [mailto:[REDACTED]@who.eop.gov]
> Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2007 10:30 AM
> Subject: ASAP
>
>
> Press are NOT allowed to photograph the brief room during this transition-
> they aren’t even supposed to be in there. Press took pictures this
> morning and got very rude w/ the workers when they asked them to stop.
> Please make sure those pictures don’t run.
>
> If anyone breaks this rule from here on out they will lose their pass.
>
> Thanks

If only they would get as tough on the MSM blabbermouths who have published classified information about the war and our homeland security programs…

    I may just be trying to be optimistic here… but it’s a start, right?

    This seems drastic, like they are hiding something. Are they using illegal alien day laborers or something?

    I can remember watching the 2004 Republican Convention. I was excited about President Bush.
