I absolutely hate it. Truman did something interesting with the WH press pool. He invited them into the oval office, and gave them all the info about the pending D Day invasion.
When a reporter asked if it would be disasterous if they reported the plans, Truman said yes, and it was up to them how and when to report it.
When put in that kind of situation, any decent journalist will be responsible.
What are your weekend plans? We're going to grocery shop and keep an eye on our sick cat.
