    Are you really a journalist?

    If you've ever been in a press box, or covered a City Hall, you'll know there are gadflies, who publish newsletters on a random basis who are allowed to attend.

    Even the White House credentials some real kooks.

    OK then, tell me why he should be allowed to attend these press conferences and ask questions like that. What he asked was not a legitimate question.

    Are you really this stupid or do you just play dumb here?
    They don't KNOW the names. Did you see the pictures moved? The cutline from the Post -- FBI official asks public for help in identifying the two men, whom he cautioned should be considered “armed and dangerous.”

    Please stop posting stupid shit.

    I'm in a Division I football pressbox every Saturday in the fall. Folks who "publish newsletters on a random basis" don't get credentialed these days. Some schools won't credential alt-weekly papers or websites that get fewer than X number of hits.

    Seriously, it appears it's tougher to get into some pressboxes than it is to get into an FBI briefing.

    So what? The guy's an idiot.

    What harm was done?

    Listen to yourself. You don't want government officials to have to deal with non-legitimate questions?

    I'm sure government officials agree with you.

    Different story at Yankee and Shea Stadium CitiField. Different story at New York's City Hall. Different Story at the White House.

    Les Kinsolving attends WH press conferences. He's a kook.

    BuzzFeed's main focus is publishing cute pictures of cats. As soon as they started a political division, their correspondents received credentials.

    No.

    But, good gosh, CNN is just horrible right now. One of the analysts actually said the guy in the white cap looked cocky because his hat was on backwards.
