WVUE literally does.

Why doesn't the local media ask questions that we want to hear?

Only way you'll ever get sources is by creating relationships. It's a delicate balance. If you're known as the guy who asks "those types" of questions, your questions will be useless as the entire team will be ready and know to just give you non answers. It's easier and more meaningful to create the relationship and get the info as an unnamed source because ultimately, it's the only way you'll get the info.

Would they get their press passes pulled if they asked questions that made things look bad?

From what I understand, the entire Boot Krewe Media bros just got their credentials revoked the instant the season ended, pretty sure it's because of how negative they were towards the organization. Not just in pressers, but overall on Twitter and their podcasts.

Small markets have the ability to freeze out media outlets, the Saints are notorious for it.

Heck, LSU froze out Moscona with a lot of access because he was frequently critical of Orgeron.
