CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— RNC chair comes to Chicago
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-met-lightfoot-pension-emanuel-dealmaking-rnc-20190509-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ronna
McDaniel, head of the Republican National Committee, will be in Chicago June 6
for a fundraising luncheon, according to an invitation sent out by the Illinois
Republican Party and obtained by the Tribune. Ticket prices for the state party
fundraiser range from $150 to a $5,000 sponsorship. The event is being hosted
by Cubs co-owner and RNC Finance Chair Todd Ricketts, Demetra DeMonte, an RNC
National Committeewoman, Richard Porter, an RNC Committeeman and Tim Schneider,
chair of the state Republican party. Honorary co-chairs include: Illinois House
Republican Leader Jim Durkin, Illinois Senate Republican Leader Bill Brady and
members of Illinois’ Republican Congressional delegation including U.S. Rep.
Mike Bost, Murphysboro, U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis, of Taylorsville, U.S. Rep. Adam
Kinzinger, of Channahon, U.S. Rep. Darin Lahood, of Peoria, and U.S. Rep. John
Shimkus, of Collinsville. In Illinois, the GOP has its work cut out for it
after the mid-terms saw a blue wave sweep Democrats into suburban and exurban
Republican strongholds. Local congressional races offer a closer look:
Democrats Lauren Underwood of Naperville unseated GOP incumbent U.S. Rep. Randy
Hultgren while Sean Casten, of Downers Grove, beat longtime congressman Peter
Roskam.)

— White House imposes new rules on reporters’ credentials, raising concerns
about access – Paul Farhi (DIERSEN: I should write a book about the times since

religious, conservative, and/or Republican.)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/white-house-imposes-new-rules-on-reporters-credentials-raising-concerns-about-access/2019/05/08/793dc404-71dd-11e9-9eb4-0828f5389013_story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The
White House hasn’t spelled out how it will make these decisions, raising
concerns about arbitrary or selective decisions. (The Washington Post’s seven
White House reporters have all been granted exemptions). The White House last
year revoked the hard pass of CNN reporter Jim Acosta after Acosta engaged in a
heated exchange with Trump during a White House news briefing. After a brief
legal fight, a federal court ordered the White House to restore Acosta’s
access. The court said Acosta’s due-process rights had been violated because
the White House had never established rules and procedures for revoking a
credential. But Sanders said the new policy was unrelated to Acosta’s case.
Acosta continues to hold a hard pass. In an opinion piece published Wednesday,
Post columnist Dana Milbank wrote that he was denied a hard pass, although the
paper’s reporters who cover the White House were all granted exemptions. “The
White House press office granted exceptions to the [others], but not to me,” he
wrote. “I strongly suspect it’s because I’m a Trump critic. The move is
perfectly in line with Trump’s banning of certain news organizations, including
The Post, from his campaign events, and his threats to revoke White House
credentials of journalists he doesn’t like.” The White House Correspondents’
Association, which represents journalists on access issues, was consulted about
the new policy, according to Sanders. The organization’s president, Olivier
Knox, declined to comment.)
