Barring Helen Thomas is not the same as barring the NY Times. She is but one reporter. My understanding is the NY Times was welcome to replace her with someone else.
Putting reporters further back in the room is not barring them access specifically to the administration like this administration was attempting to do with a member of the press pool.
