DEAR MR. PRESIDENT ELECT:
In these final days before your inauguration, we thought it might be helpful to clarify how we see the relationship between your administration and the American press corps.
It will come as no surprise to you that we see the relationship as strained. Reports over the last few days that your press secretary is considering pulling news media offices out of the White House are the latest in a pattern of behavior that has persisted throughout the campaign: You’ve banned news organizations from covering you. You’ve taken to Twitter to taunt and threaten individual reporters and encouraged your supporters to do the same. You’ve advocated for looser libel laws and threatened numerous lawsuits of your own, none of which has materialized. You’ve avoided the press when you could and flouted the norms of pool reporting and regular press conferences. You’ve ridiculed a reporter who wrote something you didn’t like because he has a disability.
All of this, of course, is your choice and, in a way, your right. While the Constitution protects the freedom of the press, it doesn’t dictate how the president must honor that; regular press conferences aren’t enshrined in the document.
But while you have every right to decide your ground rules for engaging with the press, we have some, too. It is, after all, our airtime and column inches that you are seeking to influence. We, not you, decide how best to serve our readers, listeners, and viewers. So think of what follows as a backgrounder on what to expect from us over the next four years.

I seriously doubt that the press profits from any mistakes they make. They profit from furthering the liberal agenda. They will lie until the bitter end. So reprobate in mindset are they that there is no possible way that they can redeem themselves. The system now in place must be driven to its metaphorical "knees" and be put to death. It is not a job for the faint of heart and can only be accomplished by a person of great business acumen, with nerves of steel, a disdain for evil-doers and a cool reserve under pressure... Someone like Trump.

New White House Press Room!!
Great idea! I have never understood why there was a fixed group either. I would love to see reporters from all over the country, asking questions they think are important. Oh the screeches we would hear if flyover country gets a voice.
The mouse is squeaking.
Dearest Press Corps: Stop lieing! Being dishonest liars is no way to go through life.
Open Letter from Americans to US press corps.
There’s only two kinds of you.
1. Liars.
2. Idiots.
Keep running your suck sumps and remind us to question why you’re even tolerated to live among us.
Too funny, I love the sound and smell of libtards heads exploding in the morning.
The press room could have an overflow room where those who don’t make the cut, can watch on TV.
Unfortunately, as Drudge reported this morning, Trump has acquiesced to the demands from the MSM that they stay in the WH.
Reuters reports: U.S. President-elect Donald Trump plans to select the media representatives who are given access to the presidential press briefing room, but will not move the room out of the White House, he said in interview with Fox News broadcast on Wednesday.
For me, this is disheartening and a BIG mistake. The opportunity to remove the elitist status of ABCCBSNBCNYTWaPo from their lofty, privileged perch is at hand. They have demonstrated their dishonesty and are undeserving of representing a free press.
In this digital age, there is no need for the press to have a physical presence in the WH. Trump should move them out of the WH to a larger space where more of the (honest) media outlets can have space and equal access. No more "front row" status for ABCCBSNBCNYTWaPo.
If Trump waits, gets burned again and then moves them out (and you know that will happen), it will appear to be way more vindictive than it will if he does it now.
Dear Press Corps, you adjust to the president, not vice versa.
This is the key phrase.....DJT will fill the room with who he wants and freeze out the troublemakers and the whiners with "the room just isn't big enough for everyone meme as a cover story, then respond to the complaining with the phrase, "We tried to address this the week before i took the oath of office but the media just seem to think it was a problem then."
Fake news...LOL.
So when I see the whole argument based upon a fallacious premise, I know the author is an idiot.
“It is, after all, our airtime and column inches that you are seeking to influence.”
See right there you think you are more important than you really are.
This is so funny. It’s as if they have power to dictate to the President. I smell desperation. And I love that smell.
Bullshit. You don't even know what accuracy or fearlessness are.
by acknowledging our errors
Bullshit. There's no time like the present to get started ... and I don't see anything.
and abiding by the most stringent ethical standards we set for ourselves."
Bullshit. You're going to set your own standards? You've been doing that for decades ... it has been worthless.
Dear Press: You don’t like the rules, you don’t have to play.
Thank you and goodnight.
