You might not like him, but Ezra has been a journalist for probably about 20 years, for several publications. The press gallery president also acknowledges that they were allowed to be there, so it makes it seem that they were removed due to thier previously unflattering coverage of the governemnt and reporting things that they would have liked to stay quiet.

Is he actually a journalist? That's debateable. All I can say for sure is that his puppet who is using an argument that she was on a "hockey mom panel" isn't a journalist. I feel like its pretty safe to say that if you are having to resort to that kind of argument then you know you're not actually a journalist?

Dave Cournoyer and reps from rabble.ca both should be ejected on the same grounds. Or all three groups should be permitted access.

I don't think its blatant censorship, because they're free to say whatever they want. Its a double-standard and I agree that it should be applied equally to all parties of the same ilk.
