Trump White House Press Room Changes Are Long Overdue

Expect the legacy media to say something along the lines of “President Trump refused to comment on his policy of X”, making it look like he has something to hide.

[ArtDodger]

Remember when Reagan’s guy came in and corrected the hot mess that Carter had left in the press room? Reinstated the dress code. Everyone had to sit in their chairs and quietly raise their hands. Oh, the shame!

"The White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) generally creates the briefing room seating chart, which gives the front row to what most of us would call the 'mainstream media,'"

They go to his house. He doesn't come to theirs. It should be his call.

[FormerFRLurker]

No slobs, no long-haired, dope-smoking, maggot-infested, good time rock ‘n’ roll plastic banana FM types.

What about dog-faced pony soldiers?

[BigB60]

Everyday just use a random seating chart with picking names out of a hat. No whining allowed.

[FormerFRLurker]

That wouldn’t stop a Democrat from voting, or asking rude questions of a Conservative.

Not the rude questions! (clutches pearls)

Seriously, Trump can handle anything the press throws at him. Removing their access isn't necessary and just reinforces the left's narrative of his authoritarianism.

"The only people who benefit from the current system are media networks and their hosts"

And their favored political allies, always on the Left.

[Mr. N. Wolfe]

“And when some conservatives get a chance to ask questions, we’d really learn things that “We, the People” need to know.”

I agree with your entire post.

My pet peeve is that everyone who is right of center has been disenfranchised because the White House Press Corps (WHPC) dominates the briefing. Chanel Rion of OANN and others were ostracized.

Left-wing reporters (activists) are never going to ask questions from a right-wing perspective. I want to hear a right-wing reporter’s questions when there’s a mass shooting, illegal alien deportation or protest at the capitol, not an endless series of diatribes from the likes of Jim Acosta and CNN.

[Cobra64]

Yup.

[Cobra64]

Initiate a ranking system. Every entity asking a stupid question receives one demerit. Those with the least number of demerits is seated towards the front. Example: Jim Acosta would end up in the hallway.

[Arcadian Empire]

CNN should be moved to the cheap seats.

[Sequoyah101]

That will twist some tails and tweak some noses. Good!

[TornadoAlley3]

They can’t say no. They are addicted to MSM. Addicted to hate watching. “Everyone watch CBS make fools of themselves. Watch it!” 😭

[Phlyer]

. . . everyone who is right of center has been disenfranchised because . . .

Because you can't get a job at a main stream media outlet unless you went to the Columbia School of "Journalism" and that organization openly teaches 'advocacy' not impartiality.

Their graduates are *expected* to slant their 'news' in accordance with the "correct" perspective - which is extremely leftist/socialist/statist.

When my local ATT provider dropped OAN, we dropped that service and got another provider. You have to work way too hard to get conservative questions answered.

>>>That will twist some tails and tweak some noses. Good!<<<

Some of them might enjoy that...................

[Red Badger]

Take away the cushy seats and make them stand to ask questions like the old days. Pressers won’t last near as long.......................

[Cobra64]

Great idea!

What a horrible setting. It must stink to high heaven in there.

I hope Chanel Rion gets in and to the front row.

I remember when the old corrupt media guard would have her stand in the back or sabotage her equipment then forced her out.
