The White House Press Corps has jumped the shark and needs to be reined in. While I respect and admire Sarah Huckabee Sanders's work, and I enjoy her ability to spar with an increasingly hostile force, the daily briefings have become about the media agenda and not the White House's agenda.
Having a White House press credential is not a right; it is a privilege. The First Amendment prevents Congress from making any law ... abridging the freedom of speech, the freedom of the press . It does not grant license to media sycophants to drive their agenda in the people's house. For far too long, we've allowed the left free rein. It is time to take charge of the narrative and make it known that we will no longer tolerate the press obfuscating the news.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders needs to make an example of one or more of the Press Corps by yanking their credentials.
In the past week, we have seen at least three incidents where this action was more than justified.
Jim Acosta
In Jim Acosta's most recent tantrum, he attempted to rally the Press Corps to gang up on Sarah Sanders when one of them got cut off. Having abandoned decorum long ago, Acosta appears to want to make these briefings about him and his outlet (CNN)'s agenda.
April Ryan
Not wanting to miss an opportunity to attack our president...

Long overdue.
I know he lasted about 24 hours but I quite liked Anthony Scaramucci.
Well said, but the liberal reaction would be that the White House is stifling freedom of speech.
Of course that’s nonsense. These commentators on TV will still yakk and spew out their reports. They just wouldn’t be able to say they were in the White House.

After that White House correspondents dinner, it’s hard to speak of the White House reporters with any semblance of respect for their professional credentials.
Give their credentials to someone out in flyover country. Or rotate the credential.
A day or two ago I read that one of the presstitutes actually came out and said he was an “opinion journalist.”
My question is, what’s the idiot doing in the WH Press Corps.
Throw them out so I can relish the howling hyenas of the liberal media, etc., tear at their hair and wail in despair at their irrelevance.
He would have withered. Sarah shines. She’s the best of what she does.
Credentials are for reporters, if they report they can stay, when they stray into editorial opinion - they are out.
Support Free Republic, Folks!
Develop a standard of behavior, with progressive discipline, send to the respective media outlets...
Issue warnings and start pulling credentials
Whose press credentials were used to let the young boy in last week to ask a question? Or has CNN adopted a new age group for its few followers?
I wish Trump still corresponded with Scaramucci at least privately — he performed well at pressers and because I agree with the insights Scaramucci shares now on various interviews and things...about how he’d advise the pres.
Bump...See post #8.
Replace the press corps with invited American citizens. News media cameras would be allowed just no reporters. Bypass the media.
Absolutely.
This is EASY....
Just assign credentials and seats based on the number of viewers/ readers....
Which means the Fox affiliate in Bismarck, ND gets the seats held by CNN.
