As long as tRump bans select news organizations from our whitehouse all news organizations

that attend these "pressers" are, by definition, in the bag for the administration. They can be counted on by the tRumpers to follow the party line and adhere to the dogma presented without serious questioning.

These news organizations will self identify by their willingness to accede to the requirements demanded by tRump to gain admittance to his or his surrogates presence.

That being true, it becomes again, self admitting that these news organizations are no longer to be considered untainted, reliable or even news organizations. What they must be consider now is organs of the administration. All issue from these organs are suspect and not admissible in daily life for decent people.
