In 1981, Tracy Kidder wrote The Soul of a New Machine, a Pulitzer-winning account of the Data General engineers who burned themselves out building a 32-bit computer code-named “Eagle.” At the time, no one who read Kidder’s book wondered where the “soul” in the title resided.

In September, the White House revoked the press credentials of journalists from CNN, MS NOW, and Politico. President Trump and Attorney General Todd Blanche defended the action by arguing that White House access is a privilege, rather than a right, accusing the targeted news organizations of inaccurate reporting, political bias, and compromising national security.

While the decision is an important victory in principle, it does not restore federal funding.
