Media Access in One State: The Lawsuit
29th May 2020
Scott Johnson at Powerline is not happy.
Tom noted somewhere in his tweets that he hasn’t been blacklisted. I have.
MDH included me on the press briefing conference call notices and responded to my questions by email until April 27. Then they cut me off. They have refused to tell me why. They have failed to respond to any of my several inquiries. Something happened. I don’t know what it is.
It seems to have had something to do with the questions I was asking. Working on a story about my experience, however, the Washington Free Beacon’s Collin Anderson elicited a statement from MDH to the effect that they only allow “professional journalists” on the briefing. And yet I was included until April 27. Collin’s story about my experience is here. I wrote about Collin’s story here.
