1. Toughest Ticket in Capitol: Access to a Corbett Press Conference

There's a reference in the op's link to this story, too - which unfortunately is real-life Corbett, not satire. If it was satire, they'd call Corbett Voldemort. It's worth a read too.

"What does a Gov. Corbett press conference have in common with the hottest New York nightclub?

"You’ve got to have the cred to get in.

"In the case of a Corbett event, that means media credentials - or a powerful lawmaker by your side.

"Reporters today were surprised to be greeted by two uniformed guards demanding press badges at Corbett’s press conference on nuclear fallout from Japan’s damaged reactors reaching Pennsylvania.

2. Yeah, the only people he will take to is the Scaife newpaper-Tribune Review.

A play right from Tea Party -don't talk to the press because they will actually report on all the crazy and underhanded things being done against the middle class and the poor. But the Tribe will report about you with praise and support.

3. "Only Credentialed Press Allowed in Press Conferences"

This part's true: The Allentown Morning Call had an article today about how Corbett has security outside of his press conferences to make sure that only people who have credentials from the Corbett administration are allowed in the room during a press conference. A Democratic state staffer was refused admission.
