Chait’s primary example was when the Florida Republican Party barred some reporters and outlets from their Sunshine Summit event, a gathering of Florida Republicans. 

"Last week, the Florida Republican Party held its annual Sunshine Summit, which was marked by a new policy: The mainstream media was not permitted to cover the event. Instead, the only ‘news’ would be transmitted through conservative-approved sources," he wrote.
