After noting that reporters will not have access to a Paul Ryan finance event tonight, Reuters campaign correspondent Sam Youngman treated his followers to hours of non-stop whining about the decision and the Ryan campaign.
Ryan spokesman Mike Steel tweeted a picture of Ryan speaking to overflow. He did not mention to the traveling press corps. #bold

Stunning to me that a traveling press corps that pays handsomely to be here not notified by the traveling press sec that Ryan is speaking

Btwn secret overflow and secret donor gathering, Mike Steel taking too literal "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas."

That was Ryan's now standard stump speech. Again, I don't know what he said outside.

And I don't know what he'll say behind closed doors at tonight's "fundraising event."

Sorry. That should have been "finance event." Before today, there was no distinction between that and a fundraiser.

We wonder if Youngman would complain as much about President Barack Obama, who has not answered a substantive question from reporters in more than eight weeks.
Several followers noticed the bellyaching and offered some good advice:
