Extortion works. Succumbing or adjusting to extortion can also work. Paying off the mafia was problematic. But—especially if the mafia was in cahoots with law enforcement—it was better than NOT paying off the mafia. At least in the short and medium run. The runs that matter most to most people.

National Press Club president Mike Balsamo issued the following statement after the White House seized power over press pool access from the WHCA: "The White House’s announcement today is a direct challenge to the independence of a free press in the United States."
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 – National Press Club President Mike Balsamo today issued the following statement after an announcement that the White House plans to break decades of precedent and handpick members of the press pool.


	
“The White House’s announcement today is a direct challenge to the independence of a free press in the United States. For nearly a century, the journalists who make up the White House press pool have ensured that the American people know where their president is, what he’s doing and what he’s saying in real time.



In times of crisis — whether it’s a national emergency or a sudden world event —independent journalists must be there to relay accurate information to the American people and the world. By seizing control of this process, the White House undermines a crucial pillar of our democracy and opens the door to favoritism and secrecy.



The National Press Club stands with the White House Correspondents’ Association in calling on the Trump administration to uphold the tradition of an open and independent press pool.

The press pool, working weekends, holidays and often at great personal cost, should never be replaced by a handpicked group of insiders. We urge the White House to reverse course immediately and preserve the integrity of the press pool for the good of our democracy.”

The message is clear. Given that the White House has already kicked one news organization out of the pool because of coverage it does not like, it is making certain everyone else knows that the rest of us can be barred too if the president does not like our questions or stories.

Consider the possibility that the Trump White House WANTS this fight. Wants journalists to act like opponents instead of observers. If the entire press pool skipped a Trump photo op in solidarity with The AP, wouldn't the White House welcome Breitbart and One America News to take their places?
