Ocasio-Cortez slammed for banning press from public event
She had originally announced that this event would be open to the public, but not the press, BEFORE she held the event.

The event, which took place Sunday in the Queens borough of New York City, was open to the public but not the media.
Ocasio-Cortez's spokesman, Corbin Trent, told the Queens Chronicle that the banning was "an outlier" and the campaign is "still adjusting our logistics to fit Alexandria's national profile."
A spokesperson for Ocasio-Cortez's campaign declined to comment further to The Hill, but Ocasio-Cortez tweeted later on Friday that her campaign's decision to bar press from the event was a "non-story."
"Additionally, with this town hall non-story: it was designed to protect + invite vulnerable populations to PUBLIC discourse: immigrants, victims of domestic abuse, and so on," she tweeted. "We indicated previously that the event would be closed to press. Future ones are open."

The news was first reported in the Chronicle on Thursday, a small newspaper adjacent to the district Ocasio-Cortez seeks to win this fall. After the story went viral on Friday, critics were quick to condemn the rising political star's actions as she embarks on her "listening tour" throughout the 14th District.
She didn't want the press to attend because she was talking to a section of the population that wouldn't attend if the media was there.
I seem to remember that in past elections, there have been conservative fundraisers and events that they banned the media from.
