"That doesn't answer my question.  How does supporting not banning of a news reporter equate to supporting being able to invade a home for information?"

it shows a clear disregard for boundaries

i used the privacy of the home as a metaphor

 

"Alex Jones does not have White House or Congressional media credentials"

actually he does : https://www.businessinsider.com/infowars-granted-white-house-press-credentials-2017-5

he's more deserving of them when compared to CNN and that's saying something

Boundaries?  For what?  It's a press conference at the Rose Garden right outside the Oval Office.  It's not in his bathroom.  Nor are boundaries or privacy an issue given that dozens of others will also be there.

Also, I just learned the reporter was banned by Bill Shine, the White House deputy chief of staff for communications and....former co-president of Fox News.  Hmmmmm.

 

And no, Alex Jones, does not have White House or Congressional media credentials.  He was given a day pass to attend an event and then bragged all over Twitter like he got permanent credentials.  Did you even read your own link?

"Far-right website InfoWars was granted temporary White House press credentials on Monday"
"The outlet was reportedly granted only day-long press credentials, which are far easier to receive and viewed as less prestigious than a permanent pass."

"“He is not credentialed for the White House. The White House Press Office has not offered him credentials,” White House deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said.

"Nor are boundaries or privacy an issue given that dozens of others will also be there."

all this tells me is that you don't understand the concept of "boundaries"

 

"He was given a day pass to attend an event and then bragged all over Twitter like he got permanent credentials."

where in my post did i claim that his credentials were permanent?

i posted that in response to you avoiding my original question which was would alex jones in such a situation be entitled to an interview according to your standards?

and its looking like the answer is no since you can do nothing but avoid the question
