How exactly does a regional reporter shine through the shadows of big cable stars? It’s no cakewalk, but our host Debra Saunders explains how she navigated passed the gatekeepers of the White House Correspondents Association, got a seat and got answers. In the highly competitive territory of covering the White House, getting the administration’s attention is the game. From the stresses of “pool reporting” and the little details that put readers in the action to hustling for occasional purpose, Deb gives us a glimpse of how it’s played.

Sight unseen, is the WHCA a leftist-dominated organization, or is it merely tenanted by leftist news organizations?
The WHCA is run by the correspondents. Their current president is Tamara Keith of NPR and the VP is Kelly O’Donnell of NBC. They, not the White House, credential the reporters.
Objectively, that’s a good set-up. As it turns out, it’s a God-send.
