This is glorious. The fake news is in such a panic over RAV that they are now reduced to completely circular nonsense.
The argument here is essentially: “It isn’t a pool because it isn’t organized the way our pool has historically been organized,” which proves exactly nothing. Describing the traditional structure of the press pool does not explain why that structure is necessary to accomplish the actual purpose of pooling, which is to make shared coverage available to everyone.
If a news outlet shoots and plays out its content online or through a channel, that is called "unilateral" coverage. A "pool" requires an organized system of member
outlets, a secure distribution
system, cost sharing and defined duties.
