I haven't filed a story from the Capitol since Jan 6 - forget rioters, I'm scared of TV Networks

Letters are out to the Speaker, Minority Leader, Senate Leaders and each member of the Senate Rules Committee

The nation’s TV Networks are blocking me from training a summer intern for the first time since 2012. And they still won’t credential my 7 veteran team members.

I’ve now sent a personal letter to the Speaker, Minority Leader, Senate Leaders and each member of the Senate Rules Committee, begging them to intervene.

Letter LCB founder Matt Laslo sent to House SPeaker Mike Johnson asking to credential his team at the US Capitol — *Message me if you’re curious about the other letters; eager to share!*

My Bureau, The LCB, has provided clips, W-9s, proof of payments, etc. — yet nothing has been good enough to appease Senate Radio-TV Gallery Director Mike Mastrian and Executive Committee Chair Nate Reed of Scripps (a streaming service).

Please, someone, help!
