Hey bub, the ABCNEWS card also gives him no more privileges to gain access to any event than the company ID card of someone who works at Burger King as well. A "press pass" is issued by the people providing security at that particular event. They control access to their own events. A person carrying an ABCNEWS ID has no more rights than any other person in the United States -- even if they work at Burger King. Now it's true that ABC News division may have negotiated access rights with certain law enforcement officials or other government agencies, but all that is is an agreement between ABC and the agency involved where that agency is providing security such as at a freeway accident or courthouse. No additional "rights" are bestowed.
Hey pal.
There's a reason I used the word "privileges" instead of "rights" in my post.
