AP is reporting that "The Democratic-controlled Washington State House of Representatives earlier this year declined to issue press credentials to three journalists that would have granted access to parts of the Capitol in Olympia that are off-limits to the general public."
The body said they were not bona fide journalists because they are participants in the political arena, advocating for certain agendas and hosting or speaking at rallies.
Because the three are not Leftists, they cannot be recognized as journalists.
Because the three journalists hold conservative views, they were denied passes and treated like part of the general public who are restricted from certain parts of the Capitol.
The three filed a federal lawsuit and asked the court for an emergency temporary restraining order that would force the House to give them passes in the closing days of the session. The judge denied their request.
Be informed, not misled.
