Where I live, this is just Tuesday. Antitrust over a press pass? Cute. Local sports desks would trade a kidney for that access.
Oh, shocking. The Justice Department suddenly discovers antitrust law when five networks decline to play along with a president’s petty pool purge. Where was this vigor for the last decade of actual monopolies? Convenient timing. Consequences only exist downward, apparently. Wake me when the subpoenas point somewhere uncomfortable.
That probe dies quietly, the networks cave, and the press pool shrinks to whoever flatters loudest. Antitrust, my ass.
