Fr. Kennedy denied press credentials

The local story from the General Convention of the Episcopal Church thus far is the denial of press credentials to Fr. Matt Kennedy. This makes sense since Fr. Kennedy is not a journalist except that he was granted press credentials for GC06. Furthermore, press credentials were granted to the Rev. Elizabeth Kaeton, another non-journalist. Kaeton and Kennedy are both parish priests and bloggers, one is a pecusa priest and the other is not. For GC06, both were pecusa priests. Was this the deciding factor in not granting credentials this time around? We don't know because we have not been given the rationale for the denial.
