How much more clarity is needed than the one that finally decrees mainstream media’s presence in the on-site White House press corps is not a birthright?
That the Trump administration may invite talk show radio hosts and bloggers into official White House briefings has spawned a new visible minority, the NIOBEs (Not in OUR Backyard Elites).
Not along ago the snobs, the White House media elite are now festering NIOBEs.
It becomes joyfully hilarious to think of the possible results from radio talk show hosts and bloggers infiltrating the ranks of the snooty latté sippers in the press corps.
We need to get rid of the chairs in the Press room. Have the press rotate their reporters every 30 days.
Teddy Roosevelt established a press pool structure in 1902 but it had no set meeting place.
Richard Nixon covered over the White House swimming pool built for FDR’s disability with flooring, and it now seats 49 persons.
