I guess that the press was not allowed to cover Richard Creamers 347 visits to the White House and sit in on the 46 personal meetings they had together.

Former Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor emails:

The White House Correspondents Association has to be ready to respond much more forcefully if Trump continues to ignore long-standing traditions of press access. That’s especially true for the five network bureau chiefs who hold most of the power.

I’d like to see them publicly detail their expectations as well as the potential repercussions if those demands continue to be ignored.

This is too important, and the Trump campaign learned all the wrong lessons during the campaign when they faced no penalty for blacklisting reporters.” (link)

They might get angry and become anti-Trump.

I advised Trump to ban the enemy press from the press pool.

They crave access to the President. What are they going to do without it?

Access to the President is a privilege. It should be noted Obama ignored the press for most of his presidency.

Trump would be well served following his example.

The rabid, drooling leftist MSM is destroying itself right before our very eyes!

Life is indeed good these days : )

"He making a list, checking it twice...gonna find out who' naughty and nice...."

Some Dems must still be hungover, or don't quite believe the ramifications of their defiance.

This ain't Dubya ("HIT ME!") Bush who's moving into the Oval Office. This time it's The Gipper...on steroids, armed to the teeth with a GOP House and Senate and commitment to Drain The Swamp.

President Trump, hopefully will close the White House press rooms and disband the White House Press Corp thugs/thugettes!

Two can play that game. If I was Trump, I would exhaust the media and also cause them to pay more money in overtime. Announce that you will be at a meeting at 2 AM on a weeknight. When the press assemblies, announce after they wait for an hour that the meeting was canceled. Repeat this many times.

Hahah, poor Tommy forgot that the press are all competitors, not collaborators. If one press outlet gets blacklisted, it’s only good for business for the rest of them, so why would they do anything?

Trump has alternative media. He can replace the MSM in the press pool.

What happens if they lose their exclusive access? The arrogant schmucks.

They need to be put in their place.

Would it be appropriate to now refer to them as the “White House Press Corpse”?
