Worth going to the article as there's some interesting history. Used the MSN link as it provides the entire article as opposed to the Examiner link.

White House press conferences are a 20th century custom way past its sell by date.

The president can take his message directly to the people as never before.

The "press" are still free to say whatever they want about it. That is all the constitution requires.

Re: WHCA “self’policing access.’

LOLOL!

...All three moves generated howls of outrage from the White House Correspondents' Association...

But everything was fine when you jerks were carrying the water for a President who didn't even know what he was signing. You handed fluffballs to the Press as they filed in to the press room and kept the public away from the fact that Biden was not leading the country. Karma's a bitch...

“Historic associated press” LOL! guess the writer needed to use modifiers to boost the “authenticity” of their subject- appealing to authority is what it is called. As though adding “historic” solidifies them as truthful, genuine, and above board-

I have another modifier for them and it ain’t “historic”

The Dinosaur Press should not even be allowed in the room until they report fairly.

Democrats and their media acolytes only care about traditions if they benefit from them. Otherwise, revolution and replace! Or, as the wise Eric Cartman of South Park said, “Put a chick in it and make it lame and gay!”

From a West Wing tour we did in Trump's first term.

800-member group that previously self-policed access.

They were told to call 1-800-eat-shit to await further instructions.

When the DemonRAT’s far left “press” is your enemy, you should “clash” with them at every opportunity.

The entitled journalists think they should monopolize the briefing.

[Danie_2023]

“”The relationship was symbiotic, as the White House needed the big television networks and newswire services such as the Associated Press to broadcast its message to the public.””

No, I wouldn’t call it symbiotic... because every time a Republican was in the WH, the presshos were more like a pack of rabid jackals. Jackals that can only lie when the truth does not behoove their side. Trump has shown these cretins who is boss, and for once... it ain’t them.

Trump’s briefing room takeover reflects the evolution of White House clashes with press,

"Trump’s briefing room" being the operative words here.
