The statement 'Losing your credential is not being deprived of press “freedoms.” FFS.' is part of a broader conversation about freedom of the press and the actions of public figures in relation to media access. The tone is dismissive and somewhat confrontational, indicating frustration with the argument that losing press credentials equates to a violation of press freedoms. The use of 'FFS' (for f***'s sake) adds an element of exasperation.
