I believe close contact between press and officials compromise independence.
-
that doesn't even make a little bit of sense.

Press should always hold a respectable distance. No dinner, no plane rides...
-
how does that "compromise independence"? Your words, not mine.
-
Proximity encourages press not to bite the hand that feeds them. Flying Air Force One is a way for WH to discourages criticism
-
maybe that is true for poor journalists.

I think it's a matter of principle. A journo should not accept a glass of water from a politico.
-
you can ride the same plane and still be ethical. It's very silly to think otherwise, or maybe just speaks to your personal integrity.
