When asked repeatedly whether she agreed with the findings of her own team, she refused to answer. She would later agree to meet with members of the Gaza team to discuss our concerns 1 on 1, but ultimately never did.

To be clear Samantha Power, USAID Administrator, did not "clear" the USAID Gaza Response Management Team's report, indicating that while she did not have any reason to dispute its findings (which were exhaustive and conclusive) she did not want to look like she agreed with it.

Think about the best journalism you’ve encountered in the last decade. Stories you can’t forget, stories that changed your heart or changed the world. Did any of that journalism involve hanging around the White House all day so some flak or old man can spin the truth or just plain lie?

Two thing can be true. The WH kicking out media it doesn’t like is absolutely a First Amendment violation. And There is little journalism of value to be found in the highly controlled, substance-free halls of power—wall-to-wall navel-gazing about one’s access probably being of the least value.
