Should we get rid of the White House press corps?

Ana Marie Cox in today's Washington Post suggests we get rid of the White House press corps. A problem faced by those people, of course, is that their jobs depend on access, and access depends upon not offending a White House media czar. That leads to weak coverage.

A good friend years ago suggested that newspaper credibility was hurt by unsigned editorials, and suggested getting rid of the editorial page. I think it's a good time to look at both suggestions.
