The controversy began when David Martosko of the Daily Mail was denied access to a Hillary Clinton event in New Hampshire.

The Clinton campaign denied access to the designated print pool reporter in New Hampshire this morning. David Martosko of DailyMail.com was told by Hillary for New Hampshire staffer Meredith Thatcher that he was not approved for Monday's pooled events. When Martosko asked Thatcher to phone her boss, Harrell Kirstein, he was again told that he had not been approved by the campaign.

I think Martosko would have been happier, if they'd just let him in to take a leak.

With everything that's happened this morning about press access , now I'm late for the only open press event of the day. Ironic.
