The White House press corps is "strenuously" objecting to any attempt to eject it from its West Wing digs, a move reportedly being considering by President-elect Trump's communications team.
.
.
.
"The WHCA will fight to keep the briefing room and West Wing access to senior administration officials open. We object strenuously to any move that would shield the president and his advisers from the scrutiny of an on-site White House press corps."

Why should he? They are ONLY going to report falsely for the Democrats. They are an arm of the Democrat party. Why not only grant press access to fair and impartial journalistic organizations?

They are considering moving the press to another room in white house complex. Complaint is that it would not be in west wing. I think they need sad puppy eyes and violins as well as self righteous pronouncements about fundamental rights of the press violated....

Press should pool for available access. ANY lack of decorum should result in banishment. There have to be boundaries.

Doesn’t that mean old idiot Trump know that it’s the Constitution right of the press to be able to have constant and continuous access to everything the POTUS says and does? It’s right there in Article II... no wait a minute, I can’t find it there for some reason. Maybe it was in Article III... no that’s not it. I know, it’s in the First Amendment, no wait it was the Tenth. No that’s not it either, but I am sure it’s SOMEWHERE in this pesky Constitution thingy where it says Trump has to let us watch him every minute of every day! No? Oh well he’s RACIST!!!

So the little snowflakes are going to protest. Here’s my solution:
1, Press wants to stay where they are;
2) Trump wants to increase the number of reporters;
So, 3. Keep the press corps where they and add new reporters until they squeal.
4) Sorry, new digs won’t be available for 2 years.

I think the whole election was about the patience of the Trump supporters...who sat quietly....

and waited....no early voting....no absentee voting (unless absolutely necessary)....

And on Designated Election Day....we climbed into our cars...went to the polls....and filled in the circle for Donald Trump.

It was our quiet demeanor and faith...outside of his huge, telling rallies....that took it to the finishing line.

Grateful to President Elect Trump for running. Thank you sir!! NOW we have hope!!

...If a fire had broken out, they would hae stampeded & many people might have died...

As long as the casualties are restricted to members of the press corps, I'm seeing no downside here. ;-)

Sure I remember how they scrutinized O for us. We still don’t know what he was doing the night of Benghazi. So many things we don’t know because they did not choose to tell us. Media is a part of dim party now, no need for them to have special access to Trump.

Big babies whining everything. They’re afraid they’ll miss something if they’re not curled up under the Resolute Desk or tripping aides in the hallway or hiding out in a WH bathroom stall.

I don’t see why a WH press corp is necessary.

Press scrutiny has become press screwtiny

They are a for profit 5th column dedicated to progressive propaganda

Boot them from the people’s house and let them share office space with the press from north korea and Iran

You're SO right! The Fourth Estate has evolved into this nation's Fifth Column.

The enemedia estate is an activist, organized, subversive, insidious and calamitous threat to our security and our future.

The sooner folks realize this fact, the safer we will become.

What will it take???

Lt. Weinberg: [in an empty courtroom after the trial has been adjourned for the day] "I strenuously object?" Is that how it works? Hm? "Objection." "Overruled." "Oh, no, no, no. No, I STRENUOUSLY object." "Oh. Well, if you strenuously object then I should take some time to reconsider."
