Earlier this month, the Justice Department rejected a CNN political analyst’s legal claim he deserved access to President Trump’s coronavirus briefings, warning the White House press room is ultimately federal property and not the legal domain of journalists.
The DOJ’s letter rejecting CNN and Playboy journalist Brian Karem’s demands to access the briefings appeared to serve notice to WHCA that its power to regulate who attends White House press briefings was based only on years of “tradition” and not a legal right.
And I wouldnt mind if it stayed that way.
Put your foot down so hard, President Trump, that the floor cracks and the White takes over the press room again.
I ours coordinate White House briefing pecking order as BURN IN HELL CNN!
But thats just my opinion, of course.
BEAT the Press should be more than a show.
I have no idea why Trump permits the ongoing abuse he receives from the Mainstream Media during these briefings. Barack Obama would have never stood for this. There are plenty of independent media outlets that could make good use of the opportunity to appear in these briefings and would ask challenging questions while still behaving like respectful adults.
Ban CNN from the White House press pool. What’s the worst thing they could do? Is it going to somehow make their coverage of Trump’s administration less favorable?
And for God’s sake defund NPR already. I have no problem with any media outlet broadcasting whatever criticisms of our President they wish to, but I am damn sick and tired of being compelled at gunpoint to pay for it.
When Trump calls CNN out for being fake news, he needs to add, you are the reason I tweet, so the people know what Ive actually said, not what you tell them Ive said, which is always inaccurate.
Boot CNN and give their seat to whoever the libs hate most.
Alex Jones?
OANN?
Some provisions of the Code
The board chaired by Candace Owens will evict violators of that standard.
What, the WHCA exercising censorship? Who are they to say who can come to a White House press briefing?
After the fallout from Thursday I would hope that if they are going to continue to have the briefings then they continue with not answering any questions.
Hold the briefings outside in the fresh air and sunlight.
It brings to mind the guy who wouldn’t shut up and President Trump saying if he didn’t pipe down, he’d leave w/o answering anymore questions and the guy could deal with the rest of them himself...
I think it is totally unnecessary to have the reporters there asking questions. Almost all of them are “political gotcha’” questions, nothing really informative for the public. Give the briefing to an EMPTY room!
