Based on the incredibly inaccurate coverage and reporting of the record setting Trump campaign, we are hereby revoking the press credentials of the phony and dishonest Washington Post.

What a great example to follow**

Yeah dude. I'm sure revoking the Post's access to his campaign is going to make their coverage of him and his campaign so much "less phony and dishonest."

Which is EXACTLY why it would be so freaking dumb to do that to the CL.

To

be honest, the WAPo is crap...national enquirer level crap.

So you think that the CL would write negative articles instead of only negative tweets if State denied it credentials? Maybe.

I think there's a way to get what you want. Don't just revoke Bonner's (who's done a pretty good job aside from a few mistakes) credentials and say good riddance. If the beat writer is the guy creating problems, then it would be okay to say we arent going to credential this reporter from this outlet. The outlet could send another person in this case.

In the CL's case, it might be more effective to revoke Kellenberger's credentials until the coverage begins to get better. That way the paper is still allowed to cover the school (good for the paper), but it still sends a message to the paper (the coverage needs to get better). Also gives kellenberger incentive to pay better attention of what his section runs about MSU and how it's run because naturally it's going to become annoying that he can't attend anything at State.
