From NYT “Golf Writers to Boycott Today\u2019s Talk<\/a><\/strong>” (emphasis added),<\/p>\n

\n

Objecting to the ground rules for Friday\u2019s scripted and highly managed live television statement by Tiger Woods<\/strong>, the Golf Writers Association of America announced a boycott of the event Thursday<\/strong>. The ground rules originally allowed close proximity to Woods for three pool reporters who would agree not to ask him questions. […]<\/p>\n

The president of the G.W.A.A., Vartan Kupelian, said, \u201cTo limit the ability of journalists to attend, listen, see and question Woods goes against the grain of everything we believe.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

““This is not a press conference,” Mark Steinberg, Woods’ agent<\/strong>, said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Three wire services \u2014 the AP, Reuters and Bloomberg \u2014 were invited.<\/strong> The Golf Writers Association of America was offered a pool of three reporters, negotiated for six reporters, then its board of directors voted overwhelmingly not to participate.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

P.S. One day, may be prime minister stephen harper will get the same consistent treatment from the Canadian media. (Of course, I am dreaming here. As this was tried before stephen harper won. And the press and Canadians lost.)<\/p>\n
