Recently, the Obama administration has tried to exclude reporters from at least one organization from interviewing administration officials. Some people say it's not fair for the administration to single out organizations and prevent them from gathering news because that threatens freedom of the press. Others say the administration has every right to control access to its officials, and this doesn't threaten freedom of the press since other news outlets can interview these officials. Which of these positions is closer to your own?...Not fair for the administration to deny access because it threatens freedom of the press, the administration has the right to control access and doing so does not threaten freedom of press
