For the past four years, as a reporter with the Washington Post, the White House has been Dana Milbank's beat. There was that article he wrote a couple of years ago about how facts in the Bush White House are "malleable." That led to Milbank being frozen out by an administration that complained about reporting that they called biased or aggressive or irreverent. But Milbank says it doesn't really matter if you're in or out with this administration -- access is still impossible.

A week after leaving the press corps, Dana takes us back inside the Bush White House for a lesson in what happens to reporters who don't observe the one question rule.
