Kurt's correct about Republicans starting to kick the Press out of activities now that they have firmly established themselves as an existential enemy. I am encouraged more Republicans are getting political mileage by snubbing them.
So the Press thinks they can do gotcha interviews with Republicans, and they get their asses handed to them for it, like the way Kari Lake savaged Bret Baier for trying to ask about a totally fictitious story about her.
Pretty soon, the Press won't request interviews with us.
