Put them all outside the fence.

Cancel all White House press passes and invite folks to re-apply.

Issue to a select group of maybe 10% of the existing pass holders, and then bring in Breitbart, and other conservative new media representatives.

There is no right to be a White House press credential holder.

The old model of press interaction is a joke. It’s broken and needs to be replaced. Just do it.

“Issue to a select group of maybe 10% of the existing pass holders, and then bring in Breitbart, and other conservative new media representatives.”

...or maybe just a LOTTERY - if 1000 organziations apply, and there’s room for 40, stick their names in a hat, and the first 40 chosen get to be present for next week’s press conferences.

Something that sounds fair, treats everyone equal, and if it means that the odds are one in 25 that any given organization, even CNN, ends up only getting a week or so at the briefings, so be it...while virtually everyone else asking the questions are from radio stations in Moline, Indiana or whatever.

Would be a lot of fun to see the left try to punch out of that box and say that the Trump Administration is being ‘unfair’.
