Press credentials? Press...credentials? Chuck, you're talking about press credentials?
Do you think Edward R. Murrow waited for his press credentials from the Nazis before he journalistically BURIED THEIR ASSES to the rest of the known world? Yeah, yeah...I'm sure Bob Woodward didn't lift a goddam, motherfucking finger until he had his press credentials either, right? Nope...the goddamn President is erasing tape! No time to check for credentials! Ditto the lead reported at the Bethlehem Bugle back when the world's chronometer went from B.C. to A.D., ya' know? I mean...I'm sure THAT guy wasn't sitting around his carved stone office on the 2nd floor, sipping his morning joe thinking, "Damn...I mean I SAW the King of Kings born this morning...with my own eyes. But...without a press credential, I can't report shit...damn. I'd better go with this piece on Roman soldiers groping little boys instead..."
Chuck, when it comes to getting the story, one's credentials and authority...we don't ask for permission, we ask for forgiveness after the fact.
Either report on the news properly, or sit in silence while some 12 year around the corner sitting in his Mom's basement with his pants around his ankles scoops your ass...REPEATEDLY, no doubt! Either way? Zero fucks given about what you think you're entitled to! You were a great reporter in your day...I'd like to think your "day" has a bit more time on the clock.
Credentials...
