TODD: There was a new report out from Esquire magazine... that seemed to indicate that it is your intent to remove the White House press corps from the White House. is that true?
PRIEBUS: Well, look, first of all let me explain. No, because the White House obviously is 18 acres, right, Chuck? No. the technical answer is no, But what we have is you saw the news conference the other day, and I would have to quarrel with you. I dont think it was a bizarre news conference. I dont think its a fair characterization, but there was 500 to 600 reporters at that news conference. What Im talking about and what were talking about and the only thing that was discussed about this, is whether or not you take 50 people in the very small press room which it looks big on TV, but is very tiny and whether you want to go 50 feet to the EOB and have for the first few weeks or the first months or so the press conferences where you can fit three or four times the amount of people. It is about more access.
TODD: This isnt about the office space or any of that business?
PRIEBUS: This is about quadrupling the amount of reporters that can cover our press conference.
TODD: But there will still be reporters there will still be reporters every day going to work in the White House?
PRIEBUS: Well, that hasnt been determined, Chuck, but as of now the only thing that created this story, I just want to make it very clear was the question of whether or not the press briefings, at least initially are going to be in the EOB.

Rotate attendees....every 30 days and nobody can return for 12 months.
Every 30 days NBC has to send a new reporter, who gets 30 days and is then ineligible for 12 months.
That’s a great idea. Laura Ingraham mentioned the fact that the press loiters around the White House 24/7. There’s no reason for it. Nothing says they have to be there. She said that if/when a press conference needs to be held, meet in an off-site location.
All part of draining the swamp.
Spot on one never hears them talk about how great this country is only give raves when socialism advances one step closer to communism.
They proved their actions with Obama&Co.
AND rotate the seating arrangements!
They should have been taught decent manners or kicked out years ago.
Good idea. Make sure the live streaming has both video AND audio.
“Allow Daily Caller, Breitbart, Jim from FR, and select folks online to ask questions.”
Don’t forget RSBN - our go-to place throughout the entire campaign!
One pundit — maybe Laura Ingraham — noted that the press conferences would be much more civil and professional if the cameras were removed during the meeting. It would do a lot toward ending the grandstanding and showmanship if they knew nobody would be watching. The reason for the conferences is to glean information. They can get the information and then report it (truthfully).
In the rest of the world, the press will support the government and the interests of the people, or bad things will happen to them.
In this country, the press has been busy working AGAINST the interests of the people by failing to report leftist corruption and the mass importation of moslem terrorists that want to kill us by a criminal marxist regime.
The press has FORFEITED the right to access or protection and will now be treated like the domestic enemy they are.
I’d like to see those that have been stuck in the back of the room moved closer to the front, smaller media outlets and newspaper media also. Move CNN, NBC, CBS, and all the other outrageously liberal and biased ones to the back of the room!!!Now that would be sweeeeeet..........;)
There’s an old saw that says you should never pick a fight with folk who buy ink by the barrel. <<
There’s a new saw now......a grain of truth “trumps” a barrel of ink...
Agreed, but I would never allow those scum in the Trump Hotel. Bugs.
Media term limits. :-)
Winning!
Why can’t they teleconference. The technology is available.
