Press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced Tuesday that the White House would now determine which reporters make up the press 'pool' - the group of journalists allowed into tight spaces like the Oval Office and Air Force One.

Pool assignments had been in the hands of the White House Correspondents' Association - a membership organization for White House journalists from an array of outlets - to keep the White House from gatekeeping access.

If you listened to the press conference, the digital platform reporter who asked the question referenced the judge’s ruling which questioned why the White House Press Association should have any say in the matter in the first place.

In effect the Judge slapped down the litigants TWICE.

Maybe there should be a correspondent from The Joe Rogan Podcast ....??

The New (Replacement) Media needs its representation as well.

So, which court is going to suppress this, and we stand by and let it happen?

FTA “- to keep the White House from gatekeeping access.”

Yaa, the lying media prefers to gatekeep access and pick shill reporters to create a narrative. Those days are over HACKS!

The gatekeepers were answering to the Democratic Party.

The Court already ruled against these clowns once.

Learn to accept the win.

The WH has always had that ability. They deferred to the WHCA. Good they are using their powers.

Ask honest and intelligent questions and they’ll get honest intelligent answers now. Something that was unheard of from Biden’s mendacious Muppet of a press secretary.

I love the fact that all the insane Democrats and Democrat-controlled MSM are all maniacally losing their lunch and calling this a total "disaster," an unmitigated "nightmare," the "end of democracy," turning the U.S. into a "dictatorship," etc.

Meanwhile, I'm enjoying every bit of it, and hey Democrats, this is only the first month. It will keep getting better and better ... for the United States. Another four years to go!

LOL
