(KVI) Ari Hoffman, afternoon drive host on Talk Radio 570 KVI, revealed this week that he was denied a legislative press pass by the Washington State Capitol Correspondents Association (CCA), despite being an award-winning journalist and broadcaster. Hoffman is now being represented by Jackson Maynard of the Citizen Action Defense Fund (CADF), who joined him on the show to discuss what Maynard called an unconstitutional and selectively enforced credentialing process.
Brandi Kruse: Today we are filing suit against the State of Washington, @WAHouseDems, and the Capitol Correspondents Association to challenge their denial of our press passes. Thank you @CADFWashington for taking this case.
Hoffman noted that the denial appeared arbitrary. His producer, and even his wife, who works for a different outlet, were all approved for credentials. Hoffman alone was excluded. “That just seems like selective targeting,” he said.
