How interesting a dividing line since “partisan” is defined as a strong supporter of a party, cause, or person. In Washington we may default to political beliefs or political parties as the meaning of partisan but in the real world we are all partisan for something - a religion, a restaurant, a social cause or even a friend. I seriously question the ability of the White House or any other government entity to know where our “partisan” beliefs really rest. Our work or our employer is a poor judge of where our strong support really lies and society seems to accept that for some professions, why not journalism?
This is the downside of the government agencies credentialing the reporters who cover them. I realize that space and security require limits on who has easy entry to the White House. But I don't trust Biden's henchmen to decide fairly.

It certainly appears to me that conservatives are being singled out for exclusion.
