    EXCERPT:

    BAKER: “I remember during the Obama White House, when they tried to keep Fox out of a press pool event and the other reporters, all of us said, no, that's not right. And basically forced the Obama people to back down and say, if you're going to invite, you know, all of us then you have to invite all of us, you can't make a distinction based on an organization that you just don't like. And so I think you're right. They -- they don't seem to understand that. They want to be able to pick who asks the president questions, that goes against decades and decades of tradition.”
